What seems like forever ago (but was actually only about 4 weeks ago), I went to Strasbourg to spend the weekend with Aurore. I wanted to see her before I left for the whole summer, although really I never need an excuse to see Aurore!
I took the train on a Friday afternoon, and, really, it was the hottest train ride I have EVER taken. The air wasn't working, and the windows couldn't be opened, and it was about 90 F and sunny! I really thought I was going to pass out or something. When I arrived in Strasbourg, I couldn't even hug Aurore to say hello, because I couldn't handle anyone touching me.
It was much cooler outside the train, however, and I quickly recovered. We decided to take advantage of the good weather and eat in a cafe on a plaza in Petite France, a super cute neighborhood of Strasbourg. It was really pleasant to sit under the tree and enjoy a drink and good company, of course.
On Saturday, Aurore and I took a little hike in the Vosges to this temple thing at the top of the hill. The only thing on my wish list for this hike was to be in the forest with lots of trees, and we definitely had that! The view from the top of the hill was also quite nice.
On Sunday we had a relaxed morning and then visited some friends of Aurore's that I have met before, who had just recently had a baby. It was really quite nice to see them again, and I got to hold the baby! After, I headed back to Zürich. It was a nice and relaxing weekend, and I was so happy to see Aurore!
