Another Great Weekend in Strausborg!!

Pepe's Morning Outlook:

"She want to play in the lover's chase, it is the little girl in her."

I think this is about how much red wine we have had. If having a glass of red wine every evening prolongs your life span...I should live to about 200 years old...!
I had to take a picture of this Frenchman (I think he was 200 years old!) while standing in line while waiting to get into Chateau du Haut Koenigsbourg.

This weekend the Chateau had real life demonstrations of what life was like in the Middle Ages.

This had to hurt if you were on the wrong side of the person using it.


These little spikes were laid down outside hidden in the leaves in order to stop intruders (check out the picture)...I believe they were pretty effective...I think we could sell these on the Internet...looking for a supplier...

The presentation of the food was always a priority wherever we went...

Linda's neice Sandra...cute as can be...and smart...in the car she was doing math problems in German...at 12 years old!

These are shots from Ribeauville...they had a Spring Festival going on at the time.

This is Linda's Sunday afternoon way to enjoy...French cafe's, outside...people watching!!
Notice the castle on the hill in the background...an imposing structure to say the least.
Shopping at the festival...another of Linda's pastimes.


THIS IS STRASBOURG!!!
The Cathedral at Strasbourg was incredibly detailed with statues, ornamentation, etc...on the exterior...nothing else came close to the attention to the detail.

Life resumed to normal after the NATO meetings....


This is a neat place...
Linda with her cousin Eric, his wife Dominique, nephew Rahael, and neice Sandra...they treated us like royalty!!!

All of these swans were following me down the river....made me feel important, until they turned to where someone fed them.


Heading home in 3 days!!!
