Today, 2 years and 1 day after the first lockdown in France, end of the mask and covid pass mandate. You'll only need to wear masks in public transports, hospitals and retirement homes. For how long, as the incidence is rising?????????

Yo soy magia
Yo soy magia, I am magic. Might be the door of a spanish-speaking, flower loving magician, here in Strasbourg. Well, we are a very international town!

The raven's courtyard
Probably the most beautiful hotel in town, with prices starting at 242 euros/night. It's a renovated 16th century building in the city center, an inn since at least 1528 AD.

A Monday "mural"
Compared to other places, we don't have many murals in Strasbourg. But most mail boxes or electric boxes have been decorated. Many of them by local artist Jaek El Diablo.
Many more real murals here.

Cataplanas reflections
A cataplana is an item of cookware used to prepare Portuguese seafood dishes, popular in the country's Algarve region. The cataplana is also the name of a typical dish down there.
As usual, more weekend reflections right...HERE

A few years ago, a group of locals decorated a pedestrian street in the city center, the aptly named "children's play street", rue du jeu des enfants. The whole streets, walls, they painted even the pavement. Good job!
More b&w here, for your weekend.

Vicus caecorum
Vicus caecorum in 1252, or blind street now. Rue des aveugles in French, Blindegässel in Alsatian (no, not German...) It describes my life pretty well. I have a bad case of cataract, waiting for an operation. The world is hazy. Oh well, I still can see enough to post, read, cook... Everything will be much clearer and brighter after the painless operation. Can't wait!

Open!
Good news! Since yesterday, you can have a drink on a terrace, without a mask, and without having to show a Covid pass! I think I'll have a coffee!

The port
Strasbourg lies on several rivers and canals, the most famous being the Rhine. Small boats are not allowed on the Rhine, too dangerous. But on the canals, you can go west, north, to the Med 900 km away... Or you can just live on a boat. The big thing above is a tramway bridge.

A Swiss Monday Mural
Well, last week I went to see my dealer in Switzerland... My drugs: chocolate and cheese! And as always: looking for murals. Like this one. And btw, yesterday's cheese fondue was pure bliss!

Jean Tinguely's fountain
A nice day out in Basle/Bale/Basel/Basilea, the city with any names in Switzerland/Suisse/Svizzera/Schweiz/Schwyz. Correct me if I forgot something... lol.
Anyway, there is this very nice and artistic fountain next to the Minster.
