Early morning vineyards

Enjoyed a few days this week (11-13) in the Alsace region of France with Gabi and Roland.  Perfect weather and it just happened to be harvest time, so tourists had to routinely make way for the tractors and trailers hauling grapes to the winepresses.  Enjoyed the early morning walks in the vineyards followed by picking up a fresh baguette and croissants for our breakfast.  Late night talks with Gabi and Roland over whiskey always proves to be entertaining and usually includes some singing.  Did you know that the Germans say “ha chē” to express a sneeze vice the American “ha chū”?  These are typical breakfast discussions. LOL.   Although the Alsace is turning into Disney Land for tourists, especially now that ebikes allow even the elderly to gingerly navigate the steep hills of the medieval towns, it remains charming and rich with history.  If you find the quite moments in the early morning and evening, it is truly magical.
