Sorry for the long gap between posts - we've been on the road for two weeks and pretty much haven't had internet access. Anyways, our two most recent visitors (grandma and ellie) are homeward bound and we have just moved into a petite apartment in the '6th'. For those who know Paris, we are on rue de Rennes just south of the Saint Sulpice church. I'll post some pics very soon.
Summary of our travels since the last post:
- The burgundy canal, which effectively links the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.
- Another Le Corbusier church (better than the last one!).
- The lion of Belfort, designed by Bartholdi, who also did the Statue of Liberty. This is carved into a cliff overlooking the city of Belfort. We also saw the smaller version of lady liberty, standing in a round about outside of Colmar.
- Several petite villages in the Alsace region, all of which have wine tasting (the region is known for its whites).
- Strasbourg
- Piper-Hiedsieck champagne making tour
- Epernay cathedral, including the smiling angel on the outside
- Moet & Chandon, the maker of Dom Perignon.
Here are the pics!

Ahhh, good food, good wine, fine champagne, what more could anyone ask for.
Hope you are settled in to your apartment and having a great time in your new surrounds.
