We went to a couple of places this weekend that were lots of fun to visit: a renovated castle and a maze. The Koenigsbourg Castle is from the 1100s but was reconstructed from ruins in the early 1900s - they had a great audio tour, but Robert thought it looked like he was wearing a car stereo around his neck. The maze is very close by and it's made from corn (a maize maze...ha!). They change the maze every year - they've had planets, and one with a egyption theme. This year's theme was the Brother's Grimm - they have 2 different courses (one for little kids and one for bigger kids) and they give you a map and you have to answer clues to get thru doors along the way. It was really fun. Also nearby is another castle that features birds of prey and they have shows every hour and a park with monkeys that roam free and you can feed them. Alsace is a region that is famous for its wine and is only an hour from Basel - we were forced to try a couple of the wines during lunch (oh, the sacrifices we make...). You can see our pictures of castles in France here.
