Au Val Saint Gregoire Munster

... I asked why she was not able to serve the salad and pommes sauted without the accompanying meat or fish! She was adamant that this was all that she was prepared to offer. My friend therefore chose not to eat at all. Madam then informed us that all four had to eat or none of us could, insinuating that we would have to leave. At this point I would like to offer my most heartfelt congratulations that obviously Mdm and Msr Thomann are in the happy position of being able to ...

... before going to Morroco. We went out to get me some cigarettes and noticed that the City game was on in a bar so we watched that and I drank so Rose which was cheap Ian was on beer and it was nearly 6 euro a pint the most expensive yet.

Ian wanted to go back to the room but I was enjoying the rose so we went just to another pub around the corner with some locals in who bought us shots and ended up getting drunk again, I was ...

... here in France as all the letters and nu,bers are all the wrong way around so if it looks silly I am sorry and I will have to catch up with the rest of the blog another time as it will take me years.

Anyway we found our hotel and we upograded our room to have a kitchen so that could cook and rest and stay in a little before we go off to Morroco. So thats what we did we went to the supermarket ...

... that they are too garlicy, and by others that they have no taste and they're like oysters.
I really enjoyed them. If I dare say it, and which is surprising to me too, the best kind of meat I have tasted. It tastes familiar but I can't put my finger on it. I suppose it taste like seafood. Maybe scollaps come the closest.
We then had an entree which was salmon with a cheese and garlic dressing which I enjoyed.
A short time later we were given two trays of frog's ...

... it is out of season now. I then met his sister and brother-in-law (lovely people), and their very vocal dog, where I had some hot chocolate. We couldn't communicate directly because they can't speak English so Daniel translated.
I then had some dinner at a nearby cafeteria where it is self service and it is quite cheap. I had some vegies and salad (I thought I needed something healthy) before going back home and having some cheese with Leon the rabbit under our feet.

Otra vez en Francia. En la rivera del alto Rhin Colmar es un ejemplo de ciudad medieval bien conservada, con casas de entramado estilo alsaciano y canales llenos de vida. Conserva perfectamente el ambiente urbano de las ciudades centroeuropeas que nacieron alrededor de las rutas comerciales.

Arrivée à Mulhouse dans l'après midi après 7h00 de train assez éprouvant, ça fait plaisir de retrouver des amis pas vus depuis longtemps. Visite de la vieille ville de Mulhouse le Samedi, la Ville est Assez industrielle, ce n'est aps encore l'Alsace de Carte ...

... small and quite modern and not that interesting.

The town has a couple of cute churches and more interestingly some Roman ruins. They have put a glass tent around the ruins and turned it into a museum. There is a small fee and from what we could see in the entrance it looked quite well-signed and interesting. However, dogs weren't allowed so we thought it best not to enter even though there ...

... local pottery and a short distance up the road behind Ribeauvillé, we stumbled across the small Beauvillé factory that is one of the last places that still uses wood blocks in the printing of fabrics. Janet really enjoyed their quite extensive shop that sold all manner of linens and printed cloths of the most exquisite quality. I sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine and watched for Citroens going past on the road while she gave the credit card a good workout in the store ...

... but nothing really special. At 7 am, the rush of the trucks wake up us and we discovered that our tent was between two highways! We found this situation so funny that we stayed in the field and began our breakfast. Thus, all truck drivers were horning to say good morning and breakfast. In fact, we mainly discovered in 97 the French West coast and continu the trip in summer 99 in identical conditions. Nevertheless, destinations were then Costa blanca in Spain (Barcelona, Lloret de ...
