We said our goodbyes to the Muellers this morning and made our way out of the Black Forest. We drove to Strasbourg, France. We drove around the altstadt for quite a while looking for parking and finally found a spot. We walked a block through an alley and we were right in front of the cathedral! We had a quick bite at a sidewalk bistro and then toured through the cathedral. After feeding the parking meter some more money we walked to the main plaza and looked around a bit.

We left Strasbourg around 3pm and headed to the French toll road towards Paris. We are traveling through France to Trier, Germany. Trier is the oldest city in Germany with buildings dating back to 20 B.C. It has the largest intact Roman gate in the world “Porta Nigra”. We are staying one block away in a ho(s)tel one block from the main market plaza. We walked to the market plaza and got a bite to eat. We then started walking through the city as it was getting dark. It was beautiful! It started to rain but we decided to keep touring on foot as there were no tourists, except us, there is so much to see. We walked to the Porta Nigra and then to the cathedral. On our way back to our rooms we walked through Judenstrasse (jewish alley) and around the back side of our hotel.
