Eguisheim, France





We drove out to a village recommended by Rick Steves. Eguisheim is a totally charming French village. We didn't stay overnight but I can see the attraction. We were planning on dessert here but we were just too full from lunch.

French Urinals

I guess the French think that if a guy is standing he doesn't need all that much privacy. I did use it but wasn't that happy about it.

Colmar, France Old City




Colmar was a great place. Lots of little streets with half timber buildings. We had a late lunch be we were all too hungry to think about taking pictures. It was good food and definitely influenced by German cuisine. I had a ham hock, Mrs D had a chicken pot pie with a wonderful puff pastry and Mr D had beef stew made with wine. We were full until the end of the day.

Colmar, France


We drove a couple of hours South to Colmar. We were surprised to see a Statue of Liberty replica on the way into town. It turns out that Colmar is the hometown of the designer.

My attempt at a pub crawl....

ended with me coming back at 12:30 to a very awake Mrs D. She had been up worrying about me. She wanted Mr D to try to check on me. I guess things never change. I'm 48 and have been overseas a lot. But she was worried I would be harmed in the 4 blocks it took me to walk home.
