I’m in Alsace, France for my birthday which was a present from my husband, Bernard. His daughter joined us. The town we are staying in, Rosheim, is a Medieval village with wonderful timber-lined homes. We also visited a 1400′s castle and another Medieval town, Riguewihr, which was as cute as it could be. Today we spent roaming the streets of Strasbourg and visiting its stunning Cathedral. It’s all on video and camera and I’ll be putting videos of the trip on the blog in the coming weeks. It’s a very German-influenced area but don’t say that to an Alsacian because they don’t like the German comparisons. The dialect here is quite interesting too – I hear German, French with a touch of the Swedish inflection.
And for those of you who read my birthday reflections post, I wanted to update you. The inspection happened today and all went well. The house is in great shape but there is a lot of cleaning, painting, some repairs, three rooms that need flooring, plus a new refrigerator. But thanks to credit cards, it’s all within the realm of possibility. So thanks for your good wishes.
