Today we traveled into the foothills of the desVoges Mountains and visited 6 medieval villages along the wine route. Towns we visited were Kintzheim, Kayersberg, Riquewihr, Ribeauville, Truckheim, and Eguisheim. If you ever come over here, we recommend this location as a destination.
Harry continued to drive us around Europe. His driving skills are equal to the Europeans. Having said that, we did have a slight, shall I say faux paux incident. We pulled up to a red light and while we were discussing if we were supposed to stop or go, someone behind us blew their horn. We assumed we were supposed to go, so we went. Harry ran the red light. All the other cars were still stopped. Thankfully, we did not have another encounter with the Polizi. We just hope there was not a camera at that intersection.
While walking through Kayersberg, I saw a man with an LSU shirt sitting with a group of people. I stopped and asked if they were from Louisiana. Everyone started talking in French. I don't know if they even knew where the U.S. was.
It was a great final day of sightseeing on this trip. Tomorrow we head for Frankfurt and home.
