24,000 steps in Strausberg, France

"And Action" 
Today we went to Strasbourg  and we walked to the old city. In the city we walked around it was very pretty. The city used to have walls and a mote going around It it was so the town (that used to probably have a castle in it) was protected from enemies. On the way we saw a very interesting cathedral. Yesterday the cathedral we went to was built in the style of Romanesque and today we went to a cathedral that was gothic. In gothic the stained glass windows ore much larger and they are more intricate. In Romanesque there where frescos. Frescos are a type of painting. In the cathedral today during world war 2 they took all the windows and paintings and anything important or valuable out and put them in salt mines. 
Then we walked to La Petit France and we ate lunch on the bank of the canal. We had bread and pesto for lunch that is my favorite thing to do for lunch #picnic. We went to a little store that was probably my moms favorite store. It had old boxes with cool designs on the front and turned them into tea boxes. I got this cute little box like a money box.
Then we came back and we sat for an hour and then we got bikes from the ship just me and my mom and we rode around town. Then we ate 3 hour dinner and now I am writing to u .

  1. What a great day and 24K steps is IMPRESSIVE, even for someone with short legs!
    Don't think I could manage a 3 hour dinner.
