My daughter and I are visiting my best friend, who lives in France. She is in Alsace, the French department on the border of Germany and Switzerland. It’s also wine country. And absolutely beautiful. I spent my junior year of college in the university here in the city of Mulhouse. Several of my friends are still in Alsace. It is so lovely, the French country side. The culture, the scenery…
Sunday afternoon in Alsace
Sundays are lazy days in France. Everything is closed. You spend the days enjoying a meal with your family and friends, or walking or riding your bike. Relaxing, slowing down. Living in the moment. It’s lovely.
We hosted a small dinner party and invited my friend from university and her husband. Naturally we prepared a very Alsacian meal.
French bread
Meats!
Wine!
Salads
Fromages! (Cheese!)
Dessert! Tarte aux abricots
And most importantly, good company!
