Back in March, for Kyle's birthday, I got tickets to see Kyle's favorite band Radiohead in Strasbourg. It ended up being the perfect destination for a Kyle gift because it was right up his alley... Lots of good beer (since Strasbourg is just near the border of Germany), slow cooked meat in sauce, charming little village, friendly people and an awesome concert. Just right!
Our friend Aldo had an "American friends, meet French friends" party the night before we left (that consisted of champagne and jello shots, eek), which made waking up at 6:00 am for our train a little bit of a struggle. However, our nearly comatose state the first day made for a ton of good laughs. I can't remember the last time I laughed til I cried 15 times in one day!
Do not accidentally order the kidneys in Strasbourg. You will regret it.
Happy again :)
The cathedral is crazy. So detailed, you don't know what to look at.
Nothing like a bowla joe to perk you up

Beer, beer & more beer. Thank goodness we were only there for a few days, I couldn't have kept up much longer. Such a lightweight when it comes to heavy beer these days! I felt like my stomach was going to explode.
People of Strasbourg
I'm not sure if there was some sort of amazing hair convention going on while we were there, but there were some fabulous people there...
Seriously, I love them
The Radiohead show was unbelievable! I like Radiohead, but I've never been a listen-to-song-after-song kind of fan. That's Kyle. He's seen them live several times, but it was a first for me. I knew they would be really good, but I totally wasn't expecting the show to be so awesome. Kyle said it was the best he's seen.
They had these TV screens that moved around and had different effects for each song. They were showing live shots of each band member on different screens like they normally do at concerts, but they were showing it like documentary style or something - so cool.
