These are pictures from our day trip to France. We went to this really cute little town close to the Rhine called Colmar. It is really picturesque. I wish we could have spent more time here and tasted some of the local cusine, but I am so horrible at French I probably would have been kicked to the curb for butchering the language! As always, these are in no particular order...
This was some cool painting on the outside of this building. It impressed me that they even painted the underside of the balcony. Love that attention to detail!
The cathedral - really big and really beautiful!
A very odd sundial on the side of the cathedral.
I have no idea what this little area was, but it is like someone stopped time, cordoned it off and left it as is for a few hundred years!
The French countryside - surprisingly flat! I guess I will have to go back and explore more!
Typical little square in the middle of twon - actually they are everywhere here, si I am not sure this qualifies as "the middle!"
Even the jail is fancy (actually this is the ministry of Justice - I assumed it was a jail)
Ok, the manequin piss has a pair of panties around his neck - must have been a rough night!
More cool paintings on that same building.
The catherdral in all its glory - notice the different colors of stone. You can tell it's been rebuilt a few times - probably post war repairs?
No, it isn't your eyes, the building really is cockeyed! 
Our French Chateau - I wish!
Typical French street - so quaint and cute!
Yes, French graffiti.
Again a building that time forgot - too cool!
Another cute street.
SCHWEINHUND!!! (This one is for you Robert!)
Catherdral
More catherdral - ok, it was really fetching (in the words of Bill Bryson)
A cool fountain.
Another cool litle "square" in "the middle" of the city.
The canal that runs through it - too perfect!
The scenery is too good to be true!
The train station in Colmar.
Pretty flowers in the park.
General Rapp - Fancy!!
A French poodle in France - go figure!
Sweet architecture!
