RE: Walk with me #4 : The private library full of ancient manuscripts
Wow these ancient manuscripts are so cool!!! A few of these pictures look like they belong in a Nancy Drew mystery game or something.
I was surprised that Strasbourg is in France because it sounds German! I'm really glad you didn't turn down the chance to visit so that you could share these photos with us.
Ancient history is fascinating. Have you ever gone to Egypt to see the ancient history/pyramids there? Do you want to? I haven't gone, but would like to
Thank you for taking your time to see my post :)
Actually I haven't been to Egypt but would love to and most probably one day will. Items with an old and long history does fascinate me as well. I am a curious human being so looking/touching them makes me wonder about days when they were made/used.
If you do not mind to answer about Strasbourg I'll quote some lines from my other post about it: "Strasbourg is the largest city in the French region called Alsace which is situated on the eastern side of France, right on the border with Germany. It is a unique piece of land with a long history of being a center of a dispute in regards to the ownership between these two countries. Due to that a very specific mix of French and German architecture, traditions, gastronomic legacy, and mentality has formed and coexist in a perfect harmony even today - Strasbourg is the perfect example of it. It is situated right on the border and due to the European Union, open borders policy to cross these two countries is not more difficult than literally cross a bridge through the river of Rhin."

I don't mind at all, thanks for sharing with me!
