My name is Robyn Liska and I graduated from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. I spent my junior year abroad in Paris and studied at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques (aka Sciences Po) studying international relations and sustainable development. I created this blogsite so that all of my family and friends could stay in touch with me and follow my adventures through Europe and beyond. Subsequent moves have taken me to Breckenridge, CO, Boston, MA and Washington, DC, so there is plenty to read about! Enjoy.... full info

Maison de la Tannerie

This is one of the most-photographed buildings in Strasbourg: it's the tanners' guild house, located right next to the river-lock that leads in the region of town called Petite France.

Flea Market in the Place Kleber

Sunday morning flea market in the Place Kleber.

Place de la Republique

This is the...library? City hall?

A Stroll along the River

Monument to Fallen Soldiers and the Opera House

This monument stands in the middle of the boulevarde where the Christkindelsmarik is.

Skating with Stacy

There was an ice-skating rink right next to the cathedral. It was lots of fun!

Interior Courtyard of the Musée Alsacien

My favorite part of the museum wasn't the exhibits...it was the building itself!

"Lights...camera...(it's) Christmas!"

Magical Strasbourg at night!
