Photo TidbitsBlue House Alsace

By Jim and Emmy Humberd

As we traveled the Route des Vins d'Alsace, we've seen any number of houses painted in brilliant colors - orange, purple, red, green, and this one in blue. Can't you imagine this little boy's mother had him wear a matching blue coat, to make sure he could find his way home after school.

We forgot to make a note of the village where this house is located, but it was in the neighborhood of Bergheim, Riquewihr, and Ribeauvillé, but could be any one of the dozens of fascinating little villages on the Route des Vins, from Thann in the south, to Marlenheim in the north, sandwiched between the Voges Mountains, and the Rhine River.
