Soisson

 Over our first of four two week paid vacations we took a day trip to Soisson. Soisson is about 30 minutes away from us by train. Although it's the same size as Laon, it has a very different feel. First of all it's flat, so less impressive when you first approach it. Secondly, 80% of it was destroyed in the first world war. Thus it has a much more modern feel.

Hilights of the day include meeting up with Haley, who graduated from my college a few years ago, and other Soisson assistants. Also, Chinese food for the first time since being in Europe! All you can eat Chinese food...

The Cathedral, burned first by the protestant Huguenots in the 1600's and later by the Germans. Below, pictures of the inside.
