Started our cruise northward up the Rhine. We have visited Colmar & Strasbourg, two cities that have yo-yo's between France & Germany, depending on who was winning the war at the time. Currently in France, there still seems a little enmity between the people. Colmar we had a German guide who was quite critical of French people, in Strasbourg we had a French guide who explained the meaning of the shop sign where a French monk is lecturing a pig, symbolic of the Germans & the second part of the scene, the pig is slaughtered & on it's way to be eaten. Very Catholic down here with massive cathedrals.
Boat nice, weather's so-so, thunder & lightning yesterday. Eating, drinking too much.
