Wandering Strasbourg

Saturday was another hot day, and I should really have gone out early in the morning. But I left it until late morning and walked along the river down to the Palais Rohan, which has a bunch of different museums within (see next footprint).

After that, I just went on a general wander, heading down little streets or streets with interesting looking buildings. I also had an ice cream.

While meandering along, taking the odd photo of a big door (I am obsessed with big doors, or just doors in general) I thought it would be funny if I ended up back where I am staying without even realising I had been walking that way. A few moments later, I spotted a supermarket, and I needed a few bits and pieces. But I thought it would be silly to end up laden down if I were really far from the flat. I was about to check the maps app, when I thought the supermarket looked really familiar. I swivelled round and saw the Droguerie du Cygne and realised that I had, in fact, got back to the supermarket round the corner without even realising it.

I bought a few vegetables and weighed and ticketed them (the number of times I have forgotten to do thag in France!) and some sparkling water and pasta and a jar of Mutti sauce. Oh, and a baguette.

Back at the flat, after some bread and cheese and reading for a bit, I ended up having a siesta. Something I seem to do a lot when I am away and barely ever when at home.

Then I cooked and ate some pasta amd spent the rest of the evening drawing on the iPad and watching This Is Us on the laptop. (Still hotspotting, but thanks to some advice from Chris, using less data to do so.)Read more
