With a lot of "major" European cities already in the bag for us (and a few more in the planning stages), we've made the conscious move to explore lesser-known, more localized places for our 3 day weekends and daytrips. Strasbourg France on the French-German border isn't a white-hot tourist trap, but it does have its share of history and places to see, and it's a relatively short 3.5 hour drive from our front door. Despite it being fairly small (population of 272,000 or so, and France's 7th largest city), we still didn't have the time to check it all out. We'd like to go back. The photos on display detail the 2 cities we spent the most time in: Strasbourg, and the small village of Ribeauville on the Alsace wine route. We had a good time, and to all European readers, it's worth the trip. You can access the photos by clicking here or by going to the "Our Photo Album" link on the right side of this page. As always, you can view the shots on a roll by hitting "slideshow," or can go into each photo individually to read some of my pithy and most likely factually correct commentary. Enjoy!

Damn I want to come visit again!
Hey, would you want to do Strasbourg again? We're going to be in that area from 2nd July to something like the 15th. Let's meet up at L'Orangerie park.
