Colmar Day 2 and the Route du Vin

After a quick breakfast of croissants and cafe creme, off we went to visit 3 towns on the Route du Vin (the wine road).  We visited Riquewihr, Kayserburg and Eguisheim.  We did wine tasting at a couple of vineyards and had 4 bottles of wine in the back of the Opel!   There are vineyards everywhere, and even grape vines growing in gardens among the flowers.  Lunch we had in Eguisheim before our drive back to Colmar.  Jim had a hamburger with French beef, while I had a Baba au Rhum with strawberries.  Somehow I have to fit in my fancy desserts!!!

Taking a rest now, windows open, it is sunny and 68 degrees today.  While I'm writing this, there is a man out on the street playing an accordion - all sounds very French!  Birds singing and chirping loudly - heard my favorite cuckoo birds when out in the country side of the vineyards.
