Europe April/May #9
Leaving David and Family - Heading to Jerry's sister and husband in Saverne, France
Fast TGV takes 5.5 hours to Strasbourg
Early morning: Saverne train station
All of our luggage took over the train's aisle
"Thousands" of bikes outside Strasbourg train station
Hired driver to take us to Saverne - much easier than taking more trains, moving luggage up and down stairs, navigating train station platforms
Gorgeous yellow flowers all over the countryside that are made into canola oil
Arrived after a day traveling - Barge is > 2000 sq. feet
Back on board with Lisa and Tom
Working our way through a canal lock
Very tight squeeze
We had to watch our heads - low bridge
Dinner time on board: Cheers!
Tom found a delicious mousse cake at a local patisserie
Gorgeous flowers everywhere
Old plaque next to canal
Went for an afternoon walk along canal - peaceful, beautiful, many musical bird sounds - a different experience from our life at home
French Labor Day festivities in Saverne
Very much a small town feeling
These rides swing back and forth, up and down. Not for us!
Bumper cars are always fun
The "Go To" choice for the French
Love the flowers
Water drops and raises many feet to transfer boats from one lock to another
Local church
Church mural and pretty stain glass window
Beautiful carved pews and place to keep prayer books
