The next day we got in the car and went to a castle that is on top of a hill. Very cool, unique, unlike any of the castles in the Loire Valley. We drove down and had free time in a village for a couple hours. A couple of us ate with Nathalie before going off and exploring the alleys of this little town. Such beatiful colors it was unreal. We met up with the other half of the group who had climbed up this vineyard and were sitting on the top looking out at the village. So we hiked up and just looked out. It was so amazing, so warm, so great. Then we met Nathalie and had a wine tasting- wine made from non other than the vineyard we had just hiked. We drove down to the next town, Coulmar (or somehting like that). We had free time in the city where Erin and I just walked around getting lost in this once again stunning village. We met up for dinner, which was in what is called Little Venice. My only meal where I did not eat Spatzle....
The next day, I was woken up by people freaking out about an April fools joke. The night before I had received a text from Nathalie saying that our rendez-vous had been moved up to 8:45 instead of 10. We were all very upset about the lost hours of sleep.... well in fact James had changed the number in my phone, sent me that text message, and played an April Fools joke on everyone. Although being mad at first, it was actually hilarious.
We went to the museum in the morning, before going to lunch then home. My last Spatzle dish- so delicious.
Overall Alsace was very amazing. We got so lucky with the weather and the towns were so adorable.
Hey sweetie- love your pictures. It's artichoke time here - with no one to eat them with. I think it's white asparagus season where you are - perfect for one of the Wed. dinners (they need to be peeled first). We miss you -
