Dinner at mexican restaurant
Houses on canalStrasbourg has lots of interesting places to walk around. One of these areas is Petite France which is full of half timbered houses from the 16th and 17th century. In the past these houses were occupied by fishermen, millers and tanners. Almost all the houses have a first floor overhang which protrudes into the street and some of the roofs have open galleries where the tanners hung the skins to dry after they’d been cleaned in the canal waters. These days tourism is the main industry and the area is full of restaurants and souvenir shops.
After our walk obligatoire before dinner we found a place to eat and the man serving us was so charming and friendly and he spoke the most beautiful French….beautiful because I could understand what he was saying. The French we hear being spoken in Strasbourg is a mix of French and german – lots of words that make no sense to me. So I’m back to giving that blank look whenever anyone speaks to me.
