Day 15: Rain, rain go away!

Ok we planned for rain a couple of days ago. We stacked the indoor events for today, so we hit the cathedral and the museum.

Here’s the big boy.

That thing on the right is a massive flying pipe organ!

We bought a small replica of the window above. Now we have 3, all the same size: one from Notre Dame in Paris, one from Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, and now one from the Strasbourg cathedral.

Humans for scale, and tell me it’s not enormous

I’m so excited! Every cathedral we’ve been to has something unique inside. This one’s claim to fame is a massive astronomical clock!

Just kidding that’s from our awesome apartment
They gotta keep this thing behind bars because it can’t be chained dowwwwwn!
See the staircase on the right? It’s like 3 stories high!

It tells the time… Everywhere on Earth! It shows your constellations, it shows your months, it shows what year it is! It’s got Roman gods chasing each other around, and of course it’s got Jesus! It’s wouldn’t be a clock in a cathedral if it didn’t mix in a little Jesus! This thing practically sells itself!

And now, in contrast, my watch, with a macarons for scale.

Here’s what I saw when I walked up. /200MB lol but totally worth it.


Moved on to the museum of art and archaeology, right around the corner. Most notable art is evil Jesus, from that Star Trek episode.

Subjugating Klingons since 32AD

Immortal Keanu again? Clearly John Wick

John Wick 4: Satan’s Revenge
Spock down below, “My mind is your mind…”

And virgins. Great story here.

Virgins on the right holding cups of oil, all delicate, in the presence of the tempter (left). 2 floozies closer to him dun give it up, symbolized by their oil cups being turned upside down.

He got snakes and frogs all up his back. /Probably just misunderstood lol


Now we are out to get some food.

Currywurst and spatzel and gretl
Some duck sauce goo over spatzel and potato pancakes.

Not gonna lie, taters was the best part.


And for you non-believers, here’s what the rain that kept us in looked like..

Cathedral way in the back, all lit up

Not sure if the day is over, but done with this for today.
