"There and Back Again" - A Traveler's Tale

Two weeks ago, when I visited Joy for my travel week, we did some pretty cool sight seeing. The great thing about Strausbourg, France is that it's right on the border of the country. One day Joy and I decided to take a walk across the border into Germany and check out the city of Kehl. We went to the river to cross the bridge linking the two countries, but before we did so, we got ourselves some crepes covered with chocolate Nutella and whip creme, a very good, warming snack for a cold winter day! After devouring our crepes, we trekked on over to Kehl and when we arrived, we heard some loud music further down the city. We followed the shouting and music and walked into the Karneval celebration for Germany!! It was pretty sweet; there was confetti everywhere and people were running around in funny looking goblin/troll costumes. Kinda scary, but cool at the same time. We decided to sample the local fare and bought some German bratwurst. Not exactly the same as bratwurst back in the States, but delicious nonetheless! We walked around some more, saw some people line dancing to techno music (yeah I don't get it either!), then we made our way back again to France!
