Today we took a quick trip to Colmar France. (About 40 minutes straight north of Basel) It's close to the Rhine River and the German Border. Being so close to Christmas, there were tons of little Christmas markets scattered throughout the city. Robert thinks it looks like a typical European city that you see on TV in the U.S. Very old buildings, close together, and cobblestone streets in between. There's an area of town called "Little Venice". (I know... This is France not Italy!), but anyway, its very scenic as you can see in the picture. Also, Auguste Bartholdi was born there. Who's that?? Well, he only designed the Statue of Liberty. In addition to the Christmas markets and canals, we saw other great things like an eloborate carousel, outdoor ice skating rink, and lots of small dogs wearing sweaters! We recommend this town if you want a good taste of France. You can find our pictures of Colmar here.
