Three years ago, I thought we were moving to Tempe, Arizona. My husband traveled there frequently for work, and after 12 or 15 trips, someone in corporate decided it might be smarter for him to live there than commute in from the east coast. As you might imagine, that led to a lot of conversations

Stepping into Strasbourg is like stepping into a fairytale. Scents of freshly baked breads waft through the air, causing you to stop and debate whether you want the crunchy exterior of a french baguette or a rich bite of a buttery croissant. When you’re about to decide — “un croissant s’il vous plaît” — church
