So That's What They Were Fighting For

Strasburg is a small town on the border of France and Germany. For a population of 270, 000 it has caused quite the international brew ha ha.

The city is in the famous Alsace-Lorraine region. Due to its rich mineral wealth, it has been passed back and forth between France and Germany for a century, before WWII finally gave it back to France.

We were only there for a day (less than 24 hours in fact), but it was enough to know that it was worth the fight. It is a beautiful city.

It is also home to the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights which explains our time there.
