I was going to leave early, 9am. Left at 10:00am. I decided to drive the scenic back roads & arrive in Colmar by 12pm. Arrived in Colmar after 3pm. So much for keeping to a schedule. Hey, I’m on a vacation. It’s OK. Excuses: I had to empty my luggage & go through everything to find my cell Phone (does not work in Europe). It’s the last thing I found in the suit case. I was making good time on the rural French highway until I got stuck behind a bunch of Frenchmen towing house trailers with their little French cars. My Volvo, with turbo power, is great for passing cars, but I just was out numbered. Well, I arrived in Colmar with plenty of time to go see the sites & they were within walking distance from my hotel. The old part of this town has a fantastic collection of well preserved medieval buildings & it’s Better than the ones at Disneyland. Colmar is one of the few cities in Europe that was spared from the bombing during WW2.
