We checked out of our fabulous little hotel in Dijon (this is seriously my favorite one of the whole trip)—the lady had a little trouble with the credit card machine, and then I had to stop at H&M to buy another pair of gloves as I had lost one. By the time I was finished in there, we practically had to run to the train station (ow! Shin splints!) and got there with about five minutes to spare. Whew! We took the train from Dijon to Deacon (or something?), changed trains there (we had 8 minutes, which didn’t seem like very long!) to head to Strasbourg. The train went through the Vosges mountains—very pretty scenery! SOO pretty. Once in Strasbourg, we met up with Bill and had a beer and got caught up on our travel stories. Then we all got rooms at a hotel near the station (the Hotel du Rhin) (I stayed in a room by myself). Once we dropped our bags off, we went and wandered to this little “island” in the middle of Strasbourg—Le Petit France (The Little France). It was gorgeous and cute, I loved the buildings. We grabbed a quick dinner at a Turkish kebab place—it was SO good! Then we wandered a little more and headed back to the hotel to make our plans for Sunday and head to bed.
