ViaggiatoreRozzie...in Strasbourg...we didn't plan our time wisely to see the super cool clock in the church do it's thing (which is a nerdy thing to want to see possibly)...or book in to climb up the hundreds of stairs to top of the spires in the catherdral... So can I request you do both and capture on video videos (so can experience through you guys 😀)
