Day Tripper

Today you are getting a two-fer!  I only took a couple of pictures from each of theses locations and figured it would be a bit more economical to save the "hypothetical" paper and all. 

On the bus ride from Alsace to Germany we stopped off for a little over an hour in the largest city of the region, Strasbourg, home of (among other things) the European Parliament.

Once in our next town of Landau, Germany (more on that in a future post) I took a day trip to Heidelberg with my host sister, Lena, and Mason, the other counselor staying at the same home.  Heidelberg is a large university town and so was very very bustling.  In fact, it has the longest street of shopping in all of Germany!!!! And for all you history buffs, they also have some castle and archetecture that are probably important or relevant or something.
