Sooooo...I finally had an almost fun day yesterday:P
We went out after lunch with A. to buy presents for the birthday, strolled arund Christmas-Strasbourg and...ditched class! I bought presents for my friends in Greece (I'm going back in two weeks-yeahhhh!!) and earrings for me(I never have enough obviously), I decided that spending 5 euros on something that useless wouldn't make a big difference on taoday's economic crisis.
Got all dressed up, put on some make up, made my hair and went for my bike...flat tire...aggghhhhh!!!Made it in time though to the restaurant for the surprise(G. didn't have a clue what we were panning, hihihi)! He just turned 18, so young, wish I could turn back time when I was 19 or 20, relationships were easier or at least I thought so because I ALWAYS had a boyfriend next to me, in the same zipcode, unlike now:P
The boeuf bourguignon was great, the pinot noir even better and the cake just divine-good thing I ate vegetable for lunch:)We made many many many fotos and then made it back home on foot, enjoying Christmas decoration downtown.I have to say, Athens seems to me much more beautiful than Strasbourg in Christmas, or at least we don't brag that we are the capital of christmas...Here u can find this poster everywhere, so I had really big expectations that haven't been fullfilled yet:(
Great thing about living in west europe is , as I mentioned yesterday, that u can go from one country to the other easily and cheaply.Like today, we paid 2.70 euros for an aller retour ticket to Germany-Kehl tobe more specific-to do some cheap shopping!We took the city bus and just crossed over Rhine to Kehl, Europe today is so much more different than the Europe my parents saw when they travelled with Interail about 30 years ago...No visa, no borders, no police control...
Sunday we are going to Heidelberg, Germany again, with just 7.50 euros aller retour-we're just going on a one-day-excursion, but the christmas market will be there, decoration etc soI guess I ll make great fotos:):):)
