L'Alsace pittoresque


Nothing compares to the french pastries and coffee 

I will write more about Colmar as it is one of the most picturesque places you could ever hope to visit.  Today is beautiful with sunshine, and there seems to be music on every street.  Everyone on the street is carrying flowers because it is Mothers Day.. In all the countries we have visited,  fresh flowers are very important as well as coffee shops. Coffee is almost an addiction. The restaurants are full today as everyone is taking their Mothers and Grandmothers out but it is also Sunday.
We are leaving the hotel and have a train later today but in the meantime will enjoy a museum and early dinner before leaving this beautiful place. So, we are looking forward to the train travel and French countryside.  The French trains are absolutely wonderful and we get senior discounts.
