Aller le Bleu!

The past few days in Strasbourg have been wonderful but exhausting.  Every day we do activities that involve running aound the city, yesterday we took a walking tour, the day before was a boat tour, and today was a tour of Parliment.  Its a really great way to get to know the city, its not very big and is fairly east to navigate, but the heat here is getting to me a little. Its about the same temperature as St. Louis, I think, but very few places have air conditioning, so theres very little escape.

Yesterday we watched the match from a little kabob joint and it was fairly exciting. After the game everyone honked their horns for HOURS and waved the French flag….to be expected of course. It was a good time.

I learned the word for squirrel yesterday, écureuil, which probably wont be very useful to me because I havent seen any yet. Pigeons, though, les pignons, are EVERYWHERE. I get pretty good exercise saying, I hate you pignons! and trying to run and kick them. So far theyve all been a little too quick for me, but one of these days…

Sorry I am keeping things short, but they keyboards here are frustrating, and I have to get going to the store to buy toilet paper, because apparently they give you one roll to start and then youre on your own. Awesome.

I put up a few new pictures, hopefully I will put up more after the wine tour and the match on Sunday.

à bientot!
