With today and tomorrow off I decided to not push it off anymore and travel to Troyes its a four hour train ride from strasbourg, so I left at 620 am. I rested on the train a bit as I went to troyes. Originally I as going to just see the city of troyes for the rashi stuff, but when I visited the tourism office, they told me about the outlet malls which arent really outlet malls btw its the same high prices. I found a deal though at adidas.
Anyways I saw the old shul, rashis shul, built the second time, the first time being torn down to build a church. the cemetary where rashi is buried got demolished in the 15th century, so its no more. However there is a monument and europes only hebrew university, the university institute of rashi.
When I was talking with Jessica I looked at the map and saw I wasnt that far from Dijon the capital of Bourgogne, so knowing I had another day off I decided to go on a whim. Booked a hostel adn headed to the train station, and boarded the next train to dijon.
I am here now and tomorrow I plan on seeing the city as best as possible, (its a tiny city) drinking wine, tasting mustard etc...the stuff dijon is known for. and then take a 4 hour train ride back to strasbourg.
I posted all my pictures to date on my facebook page including my route de vin pictures.
