Strasbourg--Marché de Noël
After several very busy weeks in school with the first trimester grades, written comments, parent/teacher conferences and the famous 'conseil de classe' I was ready for Christmas vacation! On Sunday, December 19, Roger and I headed north to the beautiful city of Strasbourg and its Christmas Markets. We enjoyed listening to a superb children's choir in the Strasbourg Cathedral and shopping at all the various stands that make up the many Christmas Markets in the old part of the city center. Scattered around were many hot-spiced wine stands--perfect on a snowy, cold evening! We really enjoyed seeing the half-timber architecture in the district called La Petite France along the canal and dining in several of its many great Alsatian restaurants. Our third day was spent exploring the delightful, small village of Eguisheim on our way back to the region of Auvergne.
