Another day of clear sunny skies and warm temperatures--up to 33 degrees today. Set out after another fabulous breakfast beside the pool and headed to another little village on the Route du Vin called Eguisheim--very picturesque. Bought bread and kiwi in the market for lunch and headed towards Beaune in the heart of the Burgundy region. Toured the Hotel Dieu, a hospital built in the 1400's and still used until the 1980's! Next we toured an incredible wine cellar (Jim you would love this!) It was an underground labyrinth stocked with countless thousands of bottles. We were able to sample 13 of them. Found our hotel--very cute--then had a very French dinner, complete with creme brûlée. No such thing as low fat on that menu!
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get photos on this blog with the iPad but will figure it out soon I hope. We are on to Lyon tomorrow after touring a few vineyards and wineries on the way. Au revoir!
Can't wait for those pics! Sounds amazing! Glad to hear you're eating and drinking in typical French style. It is hot here too! 35 degrees! ... I will never buy a black car without A/C ever again ...

What a romantic holiday! I won't get getting there any time soon, so I will live vicariously through you :-) It sounds FABULOUS! I am reading a novel about the Tuscany area right now and I am having dreams of enjoying a picnic with a baguette, cheese, a bottle of wine and a loved one - you're living my dream!
