More from around Strasbourg!

So I've been perusing around the town with some of my new friends taking pictures and taking in the unique atmosphere.  Some of us found a "médiatheque," which is like a hip library targeted towards young people.  It has a coffee shop inside and some interesting art all around it.  I card a library card and have been renting out cd's, books, and movies which has been great!  Also, I got some good shots of the huge cathedrale which sits right in the center of downtown Strasbourg.  This is more of a touristy area, so I don't go here too often since I'm a local now (pish posh haha).  Oh and lastly, I finally got around to visiting "La Petite France," which is basically the historical village in town (also very touristy, but very pretty). 

Below is a photo of the "médiatheque."  It's the white building with the windows running along the side of it.  It has a cool pedestrian bridge leading towards it over the river as well as some huge dinosaur robots art figures out front.  Also, there are always pretty swans in the water :)

Here is a picture of La Petite France where some of us walked around and had a nice lunch one sunny afternoon.  The area is known for its picturesque setting.

Boat tours are given throughout the day because the downtown area is surrounded by water and there are many historical facts and sites that can be seen from the water.  They are called "bateaux mouches"-- or fly boats.

I took this one walking up to the cathedral along one of the side streets. 

Here's a good look at the inside of the cathedral.

Back soon with more!
