Niedermorschwihr

Niedermorschwihr, FR

Yesterday featured the Jam Fairy of France, whose business is located in the Alsatian town of Niedermorschwihr. Here are a few pictures from this sweet little town.

Niedermorschwihr's church : Alsace : France

As I was waiting for Rachel, Maya, and Diana, I wondered up the street to visit the little church and stumbled upon a plaque outside the town hall. It read: "Niedermorschwihr, liberated 2 February 1945 by the soldiers of the 28th Infantry Division during the battle of the Colmar Pocket." (See the slideshow below to see the plaque.)

Friends

Janeen and Janet Kincaid : Bergheim, FR

Today, my sister and I are off to Paris, the City of Lights. This is a photo my friend, Diana, took of us last weekend in Bergheim. In the background with the two dogs is Diana's husband, Scott. Don't be fooled by the time on the clock tower. Di took this around 3:30 in the afternoon. The clock in the tower is busted and permanently fixed at noon!

La Choucroute

La Choucroute before... : Bergheim, FR

In addition to visiting Basel, we also spent a day out in the French countryside in the Alsace-Lorraine. We went with our friends, Scott and Diana, to a fabulous restaurant in the tiny town of Bergheim called the Winstub du Sommelier. They serve extraordinary food, including the Alsatian culinary wonder known as La Choucroute. It consists of fresh sauerkraut, potatoes, sausages, bacon, and ham and it is yummy! It's especially good on a cold day. Here are two shots taken before and after!
