Enter DAN, JAKE, JOYCE, TAYLOR, and DANIEL

Friday

• Morning train to Strasbourg.
• Walked to center of town, found the Tourist Information center. Asked for hotels...because Taylor forgot to research any hotels!! Instead she had a bunch of notes on movie theaters.
• Strasbourg cathedral: beautiful, gothic, and massive! Here everyone enjoys the cathedral, while Joyce & Daniel choose hotels to visit.
• Walk down the street, past a merry-go-round and festival, to main street (pretty buildings & pastry shops on the way)
• Find best hotel ever: 10€ a night, in perfect location.
• Walked up, saw red church, "Palais de la Justice."
• Catch the tram towards the river and Petit France. Daniel tell everyone to get off, but doors close and he then stays on the tram.
