We crossed the river Rhine and entered France. I found the large blank space on the right side of the street at the end of the bridge. There's a big facility on the satellite image of the Google Map, so there must
have been the immigration control up until very recently. Our bus stopped in front of the Strasbourg station after a fifteen minute ride. The first picture was taken there against the station. The next picture is the Strasbourg station though it looked like a ballpark or a museum. We walked on the street which was called "Rue du 
Maire Kuss" in the third picture. I found the McDonalds also here. I had been afraid on the bus that the weather would get worse, but it got better and it made us happy. We got to the place in the last picture about ten minutes later. The bridge behind Yuri is called Pont
Kuss (Kuss bridge) in French. We stepped into the island-like old city. I'm going to show you some pictures in the next entry, and I felt the German culture here in France! I imagined that the last class by Alphonse Daudet (La Dernière Classe in French) might have been written here. By the way, there wasn't the ballpark-like Strasbourg station on the satellite image of Google Map. This station must have been built recently.
