Travelling to nowhere

Leaving Paris was sad, but with so many unknown adventures ahead we started on our trek. We dealt with buying train tickets in French and doing our best to find a place to stay in the middle of nowhere in the Alsace region of France. We ended up jumping on trains and arriving in Colmar, France, a small town with no one around past 8:00. Ha!

We arrived with our backpacks and nothing else... no accomodations, no food, nothing. Thankfully we grabbed a taxi and headed out to a campground even futher in the middle of nowhere in a village called Eguisheim. We got a plot and just before sundozn set up our tiny tent facing a hill covered in vineyards and looking up to the summit where three medieval castles looked down on us as we slept. This place is great; clean bathrooms and good water, plus a tree and fence to hang our clothesline... one of the nicest campgrounds I have ever seen.

More to come very soon. Remember- we are in the middle of nowhere! Love you all from the wine region!
