Between the French and the Germans...

Marillions mum drove us all the way to Strasbourg. 

It was about an hour drive from where they stayed; from where we stayed the night before.

The night before, we had a great home cooked meal and were put to bed in Marillions childhood bedroom. We swam in her little pool overlooking the beautiful mountains. I can't imagine growing up in a house like that. It had to be amazing.

Her mom painted these awesome art pieces that you see hanging around the house. She turned one of the rooms into her own little studio and i wished i had the space and time to do something like that.

We approached Strasbourg after a few sight seeing stops and once we got there we had the famous Alsace wine. I'm not a big fan of wine so i can't be the best person to describe it. 

The Strasbourg Cathedral was yet another church we visited. I'm told that the building was suppose to have two towers. One on each side of the front building (picture on the right) however, due to the strains it had on the architecture, they left it with just one tower on it's right side.

The Alsace buildings have a great influence of olden german architecture. (top left photo).The bold lines across their houses shows a history mark of how this town was once belonging to the Germans and then later the French, to the Germans again and back to the French and has been under France since 1945. I think there was some Roman influences as well.
