A Weekend in Alsace – Part 2: Storks

Storks like to mate in Alsace. Not in every Village.
 
In Ribauville, we only observed one.
 
But in Munster, also renowned for its special and delicate cheeze,
 
they are all over. Even on the Cathedral
 
Their “clapping” with the beaks are not to misunderstand. And the sound you can hear from kilometers away.

It seems they are very Lucky:-)
 
But it’s a job to do – building a nest and mating

If  you believe the Stork brought you to Earth – go to Munster in early March.

More to come from wonderful Alsace…..

A Weekend in Alsace – Part 1

My very last Vacation, before I retire, I spent with my Daughter and her Family. Besides staying with them in Frankfurt, we spent the Weekend in charming Alsace, France.
 
The Car was fully packed
 
Alsace is widely know for it’s food and Wine
 
We stayed in the small village of Saint Hippolyte, at Logis Hotel le Parc. We all were very satisfied with our stay.
 
And the food: Excellent. Here Pigeon stuffed with Foie Gras.
 
Very close to the hotel is a playground. Here Leander with local girl:-)

We bought Wine here

Some typical Alsace style houses in Saint Hippolyte
 
Wineyards everywhere
 
A rest is good from time to time. From here it is several footpaths up to the Hills and Chateau Haute-Koenigsbourg and along the Wineyards.
 
Leander is very interested in Water;-)
 
You can’t go to France without having a Crème brûlée. This one was brilliant.
 
Well, this was some glimpse from St Hippolyte.

More from Alsace to come…..
