A weekend reflection on lockdown day 47

Dreaming of a nice handmade burger in the sun(no McD!). But all restaurants are closed in France until further notice. I will wait. Not at a beer drinkers myself.

May Day CDP theme day: shopping

Once upon a time, thinking pink thoughts while riding my unicorn, I went to Wonderland for a little shopping.
More wonderful photos about shopping here.

Doces

Like most people, I'm not able to travel. So, here are some sweets, aka doces, from Portugal

Confinement, week 7, day 43

More social distancing, bird view.
And, dude: GO HOME!

Social distancing

Alone in the city.

396,82 km to point zero

Point Zero, just outside Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. From here, all distances in France are calculated. Strasbourg is 396.82 km away, as the crow flies. A good deal longer by car or train.

The weekend is black and white!

Lockdown, day 3823585

Some feel good music for you? Will it be Mozart, Strauss or the pink panther?

End of lockdown...

I only drink to celebrate, birthdays, Christmas, etc. But, when the lockdown  finally ends (partially on May 11th in France), I will have a nice flammekueche or 2, and a nice drink!

Lockdown, week 6

Starting getting ever so slightly bored.

Sorry, we are closed

Cafés, restaurants, cinemas, concert halls, theaters, operas, etc, are closed at least till mid-July. I'm wondering how many will be able to reopen, with no income for 4 months, or longer.

Ghost town

Everybody seems to respect the confinement.

Nature morte

Saint Valentine's day massacre

This footbridge is historically located near the Porte des Juifs. This gate of the old enclosure of Strasbourg led to the cemetery which was close to the current place of the Republic where more than 900 Jews, that is to say half of the Jewish population of Strasbourg, were burned alive on February 14, 1349. Many of the survivors fled abroad. Some made it to Venice, to the Ghetto area.

This sad episode is known as "Pogrom de Strasbourg" or "Saint-Valentine massacre".

At that time, there was the threat of an epidemic of black plague (bubonic) which will make nearly 25 million deaths in Europe. Before it even declares itself in Strasbourg, the Jews will be accused of poisoning the wells. A bad excuse invoked in particular by bad payers not wanting to repay their debts, or worse, robbing their property.

The bridge has existed since 1858. But it was destroyed by the bombings of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/1871. It was immediately replaced by a metal arch bridge in 1871
