Strasbourg to Bulle - Wed., 10 Oct 2012

Today was a rainy day and we spent several hours driving from Strasbourg, France to Bulle, Switzerland.  I didn't realize that I had only taken 2 pictures today, but I'll make up for it tomorrow.  We stopped in Ribeauvillé, France -- population 5161 (can you tell we like small towns?).  They were having a medieval music festival there from September 15th to October 21st, but we found out (when we got there) that most of the events were on the weekends and there was nothing going on today.  But, we enjoyed wandering around the old part of town and Alice found some pistachio fondant that we enjoyed.  Ribeauvillé (Ree-boh-vee-LAY -- it really sounds cool when a French person says it) has buildings in the town square that date back to the 1500s-1600s and is a delightful place that we would like to visit again in the future.
