They Left Us!

Tuesday was a bittersweet day.  We had just enough time to go roam around Old Town and grab a sensational lunch at Trois Poissions with everyone.  I think this is our favorite place to eat in Colmar so far.  With all the heavy German fare, it is nice to finally find a place that does lighter French dishes that actually have some veggies involved.  I am assuming all vegetables grown in Germany are composted and then fed to the sauerkraut fields.

Sole over squid ink pasta and veggies with a Riesling sauce

A personal favorite, 5 local fishes over hand made pasta with a mushroom cream sauce

Matt finally got the chance to buy the pocket knives he had been searching for while and I deeply suspect other shopping happened as well.

Pretty womens!

No idea what this is.  Really pretty tho!

Matt, Laura, Jim and Aletha headed out to Paris by train at around 4, leaving Nita and I some down time to get groceries stocked in and bedding laundered, etc.   We will, of course, miss them all.  Had some great times over the past couple weeks, sad to see it all come to so early an end!

 Instead of going to the local grocery, we headed off to the other side of Colmar for a big fancy cluster of stores that were on the bus route to Germany.  Shopping list in hand, we totally failed as responsible adults and packed the cart with cider, a frozen pizza(BBQ chicken, we could not resist) and odd flavours of potato chips.  I even bought a new carry on bag for the flight home at a nice little luggage shop in the complex.

Back at home we enjoyed an embarrassing evening of American vices.  Netflix, frozen pizza and lounging on the couch.  Not a bad way to unwind after 5 weeks of running about!

The pizza was ok.  Not great, but ok.  Just in case you were wondering.

New folks tomorrow!
