Traditional Baptist Hymns

Vis-à-vis severally's Alsace

Sali! That sounds better than Hi, right? This is the greeting in Alsace. Yes, I did it! I arrived in France. Wissembourg. Actually I wanted to last night post, but the Internet cafe is simultaneously an Alsatian Tarte Pizzeria, well, and after a delicious Tarte and a glass of wine, which necessarily belongs to it, I was just too much muuuuueeeeeeede. Then I would rather go to bed in a hostel for pilgrims. And now I write from here catholique from the presbyter, the Catholic rectory. Folks, I'll tell you what, this is the first official pilgrims from Darmstadt. In the Palatinate, a lot of hype being made about the pilgrims, Pfaelzer St. James and all, but there is an official pilgrim hostel is not there.

Menno, which yesterday was warm again. But I had not so far from Bad Bergzabern Wissembourg. There were only 12 kilometers. What I did on the way sighted? So first the ancient Church of Bach Doerr. Romanesque and Gothic! And more importantly, wonderfully cool inside. Because the church has such thick walls. Supi, a true pilgrim church. And then this hideous goal just before the border in silence. This is sooo ugly. German Wine Gate is called the thing and it has been built by the Nazis to show the French times, find the right wine region begins. Haha, as if the French do not make good wine. Good grief, is the embarrassment.

is funny, however, the bank that I've seen in my pilgrimage leader. This is a seat from tree trunks, it says on the "Vis-à-vis severally's Alsace". Since I first sat down and I France viewed from the outside. And then soon came Wissembourg. So the cities are always great. Fachwerkhaeuser lots with large roofs, where people have stored earlier in Wissembourg their grain. The house with the largest roof is the Maison du Sel. Since the salt was taken to. But the roof is four stories tall and was full of salt. Then I was still in the abbey church and I've seen the great glass window. Really colorful, although still in the 13th Century. The oldest disk, which shows a head of Christ is another 200 years older. Mistaken, what it was back then for colors. We were even with the school at BASF in Mannheim and have seen how those colors are produced chemically. The people in the Middle Ages have been just as bright colors got done ", ie completely without chemicals. The abbey church has a crypt, a similar as the one in Speyer, only a little smaller. But with so many columns. Since I left my violin of course jubilant.

Because I was already so early because I had too much time to finally make my street music. No order people came. Only two police officers who are about to have remained friendly and gave me a nod then went on. Awesome! I am in France.

Bisou

vôtre Julie
