Strasbourg introduction

 This is my language school.  
 Strasbourg loves its students
 Near the Cathedral of Notre Dame, an amazing edifice that dates back to the 1400s.
This photo is blurry, but the small figure on the bottom center seems to be The Undertaker.  This set is part of a cool astrological clock that dates back to the 1400s.  Each half hour, the undertaker beats his drum, apparently proclaiming the onset of death.  The 12 Apostles appear once per day.

  2. Looks like a beautiful city! And a very cool clock. Glad you're in such a great place, if you have to be gone. : )
