A full day in Strasbourg

We slept late! 12:00! Nice to get real sleep. The Plan today is to go shopping. I need a new helmet and rain jacket. My old ones were left on the plane from Boston to New York and are gone for ever. It was a helmet I was planning to toss and my rain jacket was too short and as a result, my waist would get wet while riding. So after coffee, we will walk actually town to the Decathlon. Decathlon is a low priced sporting goods store that has everything! a nice walk across town window shopping is exactly what both of us want to do.
My new Helmet and Rain Jacket
We will be off to dinner in an hour. Looking forward to another wonderful dinner tonight. We both skipped breakfast and lunch today. We wish you were here!
A tomato slice topped with a mix of anchovies, tiny croutons, and a mix of wild herb's. Truly one of yhe best things I have ever eaten!
Tiny slices of Mackerel on a bed of rice.
Potato puree with caviar
Cod with a seaweed wrap in a sauce of cream, legumes and Periwinkle with an Oyster leaf on the side. (it tastes just like an oyster believe it or not!)
Veal with a nut puree in a magnificent sauce! Sided with another mix of greens of which you would never find at the local grocery.
And of course, a special desert from the Chef! Another Spectacular Day! Tomorrow is a travel day. We need to be on the train by 7:00 am. Off to Paris and onto the Plane to Turkey. We will see how well that goes! 😄
