The weather has been great over the past few days with temperatures around 15C. Today we went to the mountains of the Black Forest, saw giant cuckoo clocks and some great schnapps.
Today was a holiday in Germany so the shops were closed but in the afternoon, we went into Colmar, which is a village in the Alsace region. We saw the Maison des Tetes (House of Heads, 111 on it) and some beautiful half timbered houses. A local artist in the 2nd world war did not like working for the Germans and he did postcard art and signs for various businesses. He always seemed to be able to get digs in everywhere with colour and satire.
