My city (Part 2)

A few weeks back, I posted that I am in love with my city. (And she's in love with me, of course.) Harley told me to post pics of my favorite parts of the city, and here they areee!

Place de la République.
Around this square, there's the National University, the National Theater of Strasbourg, the prefecture, and the "Rhin Palace".

The Universitary Palace.
This was the main building of the old university campus. Right now, just some classes are held here, but I still find the building impressing. It must be among my favorite ones in all of Strasbourg. The picture up here is the Atrium.

The river borders.
Strasbourg is traversed by the Ill river, and everywhere it passes in the city, there is a little area on both sides so you can sit there and take a sun or just watch the ducks and swans pass... It's just perfect to go there and sit with a nice book and a can of soda!

La Petite France
This must be my favorite part of Strasbourg. I dream of someday being able to live in one of the houses made of wood, and with a view to the river. The houses are goooorgeous. And the view is, too.

The Cathedral
In my opinion, the most beautiful church of France must be situated here, in Strasbourg. The Cathedral is so WOW. And by that I mean I can't think of a single word to describe it. Its height, its gothic decor, its history, etc. It's all breathtaking. Oh, and in this neighborhood you can find all sorts of fun little cafés and such!
(Ignore my awful lovely smile).

The European Parliament
We have the chance of having the EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT just under our noses. Strasbourg is Europe's capital, baby! ;) (If my former friends come and read this, the Interpol is nothing compared to this, sorry, girls.)

And finally... my favorite place in Strasbourg must be...
The view from the cathedral's "platform".
  

What's NOT to love about this city? Nothing. It's the best city in the world. And where the best people in the world are (Except for my family, who's in El Salvador). :) Nothing beats a night of drinks and talking and laughing with the Boyfriend and the rest of my friends.

As I said before... I am in love. :) Happy 1-year-and-a-month anniversary of relationship, Strasbourg. I come to love you a bit more everyday.
