We had a wonderful time, and we were all a bit sad to leave the delicious bread and easy communication (at least for one of us) behind. We arrived on Friday night and were surprised by an enormous hotel room. We'd booked the basic, but because we'd booked late they didn't have anymore of the standard and we were upgraded! 6 beds (including the crib) for the 3 of us. Fantastic. On Saturday morning we set out into the town to see the sights and find Nathaniel his much sought after bookstores...my darling little dictionary addict! We saw the cathedral, went on a boat tour, bought some dictionaries and then headed off to the church to catch the Saturday morning session of conference (aired at 6pm here). Sunday we walked into Petite France just for a quick look around before we had to get back to the church for Priesthood session airing and following sessions. Monday we went back to the cathedral and hiked up the 66 meters/300+ stairs to the top! Man. My legs were tired and I found out something new about my sweet husband: heights make him very dizzy- though I'm sure going up a spiraling staircase for that long didn't help. France was beautiful and the people were all wonderful and friendly. We can't wait to go back!

Picture of a church taken from the boat. I would have more info on this, but my stupid headphones on the boat kept going out on me!
The Strasbourg Cathedral. On Sunday we were there right before Mass. Besides the tourists- the church goers were slim
pickin's!

William is always such an eager helper! Nathaniel went out on Saturday morning to come back with this delicious feast for us! What did he have for breakfast? A pan chocolate (chocolate filled
croissant) and a chocolate eclair!
William, of course, enjoyed his breakfast too.
Ha. Excellent. Slender, Fine,
Fiz. How did they know?!
This is the oldest building in Petite France. Again- wish I could tell you more, but the whole headphone thing really set me back. I think it's from the 1400s.
Just
chillin' on a bridge.
