Strasbourg

Erin an I just returned from a little jaunt through northern france, belgium, and holland. Our first stop was Strasbourg, which is on the border of Germany and France. There's even a bridge over to Germany...you can walk right over...but more about that later.The old city center of Strasbourg is centered around a series of canals, which of course make s it really hard to find your way around...but well that doesn't take much for me.



We made a short stop over to Germany HA! Our map wasn't to scale at all, so we ended up walking through the industrialized part of strasbourg for an hour just to get to the bridge. Of course, no border control...we just walked over the bridge and hung out in Kehl for a little while. When we crossed back over we decided to take a bus back over the bridge into Strasbourg. Well, yeah, there's border control when you cross the bridge by vehical. Luckily I had my passport, but as for Erin, not so much. We managed to talk our way out of any problems which wasn't hard since I had mine and it was US. Sad as it is, having a US passport usually solves all your problems. There was an elderly German lady in the seat behind us, traveling across with her daughter who didn't have her passport either and the officer wouldn't let her cross.
