Jump to the full entry & travel map Colmar, Alsace, France We have a dilema. We planned to go to the thermal baths in Budapest, but we opted out and did more touristy stuff. Now it looks like we will be heading to Baden Baden where some of Jill's relatives originated. Wouldn't you know they have 2 thermal baths. Bathing suits are optional. We've heard that you could get a good German spanking....

The wines of Alsace are some of the most unique and distinctive in the world. They are also some of my favorites, not only because they are delicious, but also because they are made by some of France's most individualistic and headstrong vintners. Alsace has long been a place apart, both from France and Germany, each of which have laid claim over the valleys and hills that lie west of...

So, I don't know where I've been, exactly, but there are something like 2,700,240,000 of those new 2006 nickels in circulation, the ones with Th. Jefferson facing forward and staring at you with spooky space-alien eyes , and I hadn't seen...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Strasbourg, Alsace, France Yes, you read the title correctly - the professor who organized this program, recruited the participants, and taught the classes walked out of the program in Strasbourg, France. Let me explain. We were on the bus to Strasbourg by 5am to arrive in time to hear a speech by the new European Union (EU) president - the president...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Kientzheim, Alsace, France We love the Alsace region because of: - Gewurztraminer and Flammkuchen, Foie Gras and the stinky Munster cheese - the many many stork nests - strolling through one flowery little township after the other - hiking in the vineyards - shopping in Colmar ..and not because we gained all that weight back that we had lost in India..oh...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Strasbourg, Alsace, France We woke up this morning, and went down for breakfast. It wasn't too bad, but that's because we came early. For all of the people that came later, were out of luck because all of the good things were gone like the crepes, and the tort de patate (don't know what it's called in France). We then walked to the...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Strasbourg, Alsace, France Ok, I made it safely to Strasbourg. I didn't update my blog this weekend like I wanted to. I also didn't fill out an application that I wanted to finish, or get as much sleep as I possibly could. Saturday I did get to sleep in and relax. I went shopping for a little, but didn't accomplish anything too big. ...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Strasbourg, Alsace, France I read somewhere a while back that Strasbourg, France was very pretty so we left Luxembourg with that as our destination. It was pretty and worth the stop but sadly everything is starting to look the same to us now. Again, another short stay as our goal is the Romantic Road in Germany. Having only 10 days left to our trip - we're...

Well my time here in Paris is over and what better may to go than with sparkling wine, a Cremant d’Alsace. Cremant goes through the same process, as Champagne except there is one difference, location. In France and all of Europe for that matter, wine cannot be legally called Champagne unless it is in fact [...]
