Welcome to France!! Last Saturday we took a day trip to Colmar France with Mandy and Nathan. We woke up early and took the 9:00 train and were in France by 11:00. How cool to just get on the train and be in another country two hours later!Here we are crossing into France. After walking through those doors you were not in clean Switzerland anymore. The bathrooms definitely did not meet the high Swiss cleanliness standards.
Colmar is famous for their outdoor Christmas market. There were five different markets around the town. It was a great way to spend a Saturday. Unfortunately the stuff looked like it was straight from the dollar store. But we found plenty of chocolate and gluhwein to buy!!
We took the train with Many and Nathan and Nathan's boss Hakan and his wife Jasmin meet us.
My heaven!! The best chocolate in town so we just had to get a bunch to try!
Bread anyone?
Since the trinkets were lame we decided to eat and drink our way through the market. More gluhwein of course and flammekueche (Tarte Blambee in French). It is very thin dough covered in creme fraiche, onions, and bacon. It is a speciality of the region and sooo veryyummy!
Freshly made crepes
Colmar was such a cute town. It was so much fun just to walk around and look at all the shops.

Centerpieces for the Sullivan Family Christmas Party?!?
This is the restaurant we ate at. We were taking the 7:30 train back to Zurich so we needed to eat an early dinner. Well all the restaurants in Colmar are closed until 6:30. This was the only one we found open and good thing we did because the food was amazing!
It was so beautiful when it got dark and the lights came on. All the streets were decorated with lights like this.
