(we had to buy it at a gas station - it was Saturday night).
Getting up close and personal with free roaming Barbary Macaques (we weren't allowed to feed them popcorn anymore, boo Covid).
Getting up close and personal with an Andean Condor (largest flying bird in the world, I believe) at a Birds of Prey show in a ruined castle!
Touring a WW2 bunker on the Maginot Line.
Apparently french grocery stores don't open on Sunday, so McDonald's it is. Before anyone claims that's not a cultural experience here's my Happy Meal - a McFish with ketchup, potato wedges with Creamy Dill sauce, a sparkling mint water and a frozen raspberry sherbet for dessert.
Our fabulous rental apartment. The furniture has to arranged a little creatively.
Next day, it was off to Switzerland and the Black Forest in Germany.
Testing the acoustics in a roman amphitheatre.
We took a chairlift to the top of the mountain, I dont want to take credit for hiking it!
Touring castles today - this is Haut Koenigsbourg.
Picture taking heaven in Colmar. Poor Brendan stayed home to write a math test while the rest of us wandered and looked for historical plaques.
The Manneken Pis - not sure why there's a copy of the Bruxelles original here, but I'll take my famous sites wherever they want to show up.
The sculptor who created the statue of liberty is from Colmar - this place is landmark central!
And finally, one more hilltop castle, overlooking our village. They are long days, I can't deny that. Nobody wants to be done, but I don't think I've been this continually overfed, overtired and overstimulated, ever. We will definitely home for a rest.
