Back to the future

I was a student a while ago in this land of storks and wine.

Back then it was all about enjoying tarte flambee, avoiding choucroute, riding a city bike (way before it became ubiquitous) and wondering if I would ever need a Minitel.

Oh, and getting the point that the Council of Europe and the European Parliament have little to do with each other.

Back then, I thought that Strasbourg's Place de l'homme de fer was a tribute to the newly inaugurated tram.

A few years went by, the rain has not changed, Place de l'homme de fer is still a tribute to the iron armor hanging from one of the buildings, but it is time for a ride in the Alsatian countryside, wine tasting, Castle and lovely villages discovery.

No, we did not walk the route des vins: how could we bring home a few dozen bottles otherwise?
