Our stay for three days is based in the medieval village of Riquewihr, one of the more popular tourist spots along the Alsace wine trail. There are any number of beautiful villages in the area, but it was a little hard to appreciate the beauty of our town with the throngs of people, the difficulty of parking and then the climb up stairs to our apartment!
Thankfully when all was negotiated and we were able to stroll around after many tour buses had departed, we began to get a real feel for the place. The buildings date back many centuries and they have many famous wine houses still making wine down the cobblestone lanes. Only time to drop into one before dinner in a "Winstub" where the food is meant for large beer drinking men with large appetites.
Gail was especially taken by the cavernous Christmas shop.......baggage issues just keep building!
