Carolyn's and Tom's Trips to France from 2009 to 2015

Colmar


A fine day. Found a place that would do the laundry for only an expensive price, rather than a ridiculous price. Then we wandered the day away in Colmar, the capital of the Alsacian wine country and a delightful small city -- complete with 14th century timbered houses, canals, and a wonderful museum.  

The French are nuts about Easter -- especially the chicken, bunny, duck side of it.  Every window box  is festooned with displays.  Here's a couple:


For lunch we had traditional Alsacian food - tarte flambee,  like a very thin-crusted pizza topped with cheese, onions and bacon.  
 
Here's Tom, about to finish one off.

And then, after,  there's the coffee and some kind of fancy macaroon/cookie things.
