I drove a few miles away to cross the Rhine to be in another country &#8211; Germany. Other than the language little more than east and west distinguishes the opposite banks. Both are well farmed, manicured and tidy.<\/p>\n<p>My chief objective was in France however. I wanted to find Kutzenhausen where the Seanors emigrated from. Charlotte Seanor was my mother&#8217;s beloved grandmother. Seanors were German although I have no idea which nation ruled over them when they immigrated to America. I wonder if my Grandfather gave that much thought when he sat in the trenches a hundred miles further west.<\/p>\n<p>We stopped in Haguenau first before all French restaurants took their traditional 2 to 4 PM siesta. I had Claudia snap a pic of me to text to our grandsons to make them jealous.<\/p>\n<p>Although we did not find a traffic sign I did find evidence on a municipal van of the village&#8217;s existence. By chance I had caught the village in a picture over the backs of two black horses when I stopped to record the countryside. Once in town I was greeted by a reception committee of one small cat.<\/p>\n<p>Having accomplished these missions we turned back to Colmar driving past Alsace&#8217;s wine roads. Heading into town we passed the tribute to local-boy-made-good, Frederick Bartholdi, in a reproduction you might recognize. Duluth has a smaller version too; a gift from an heir to the great man. I had Claudia pose for a pic too in the spiral staircase of our vintage hotel. Vintage 1361. We have climbed a lot of them over the past 3 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Pics: <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1901\/44032392635_9c9f1d8fe2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1958\/30007482337_d76e635b27_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1975\/44032422245_4ffa8012a9_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1923\/44895782962_2956f12a8e_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1973\/44895774962_a576510bb6_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Facebook: Yesterday I would have made my father proud.
