Getting a great deal on flights to and from Zurich, Switzerland, Tom and Laurie decided to spend a week exploring the area around Basel (from the German side of the border). Afterwards, we headed to our primary destination - Alsace - for four additional weeks. While its wine region had a too-difficult-to-resist appeal, the picturesque, half-timbered, centuries-old houses, the traditional Alsatian dishes and its many castles had us looking forward to this trip for months.

And it was such a good trip that we were planning to go back the following year. Then COVID-19 hit. Maybe in 2021. In the meantime, please join us on 2019's Alsatian Adventures.
