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!
