French Germany

I just lost all my pictures of Colmar so I had to go out again this night to take more of them. But it's o.k. there aren't many touristy things to take pictures of in Colmar anyway and I've been sick so here is what Colmar is really all about...

A parade of cute houses.







not cute just crooked.


And of course the one I stayed in.

I was told by Mom that the Petrees supposedly hail from the Alsace region. (the area I'm in now) I wasn't really convinced of this until I found displays of crockpots (originally used here) with the same designs as the one at home as well as when I stopped for lunch I ended up eating a chicken pot pie and a piece of mulberry pie. The guy I bought them from didn't even speak French, just German. Mom's family must be from this area.
