Strasbourg, France, home of the European Union, lies just over the German border, from where i stay, 75 klicks south on the A6 and turn left another hour. before St.Valentines Day and age 24, i never considered waking up across from a medieval cathedral and doing circles around such an historic village on bicycles. a canal surrounds older Strasbourg, and just over the east side, a bustling university campus livens the Tram rides in the evening. beside a garden park, planetarium and art museum, our weekend ended flush with plenty of things to help numb the return.

 here's a stretch of snow capped Otterburg i passed on the long way, one evening.
taking pictures between work has been the most i've taken advantage, with time for little else.

“What shall it profit a man if he gain the world, and forfeit his own soul?”
(Mark 8:36)
