  • Marché de Noël: Strasbourg, France

    Yes, the weekend flight to Strasbourg was hella expensive, but was it worth it? Bien sûr! Seeing Amélie for the first time in over a year and a half + good conversation + lots of vin chaud + finally finding the holiday spirit= priceless.

    The Christmas market in pictures:


    What is a Christmas market without some good ol' hot spiced wine?


    Or waiting in line for 30 minutes to eat at Flam's?


    Notre Dame de Strasbourg--quite possibly the most amazing cathedral ever.

     
    Inside...


    Beautiful half-timbered houses in the Petite France area of Strasbourg


    The quintessential French breakfast--tartine and café crème. And the beautiful Amélie!


    Amélie offered me this book for Christmas, which is pretty much the most hilarious thing I've ever read. Chapters include:

    *Comment péter avec grâce et élégance à une réception chez l'ambassadeur (How to fart gracefully and elegantly at the ambassador's reception)

    *Comment faire sortir une araignée de votre baignoire (How to get a spider out of your bathtub)

    *Comment étrangler un homme avec ses cuisses (How to strangle a man with your thighs)

    *Comment se faire une petite robe noire avec un sac poubelle (How to make yourself a little black dress out of a trash bag)

    Thanks to Amélie, I'm sure to become a "brilliant girl" in no time, right? haha

    It was so nice to reconnect with such a good friend... but it sucks knowing that I won't see her again until next summer. 

    Mais c'est la vie.
