Continuing our visit to Riquewihr...
Ever more floral up-cycling |
A cul-de-sac in the former ghetto (pogroms in the 14th and 15th centuries) |
Now a museum |
Of interest manly because in the upper right you can see houses and such built right into the city wall |
Ever-popular European torture museum |
13th century wall |
Another tower/portal |
Avec portcullis |
Interesting ancient signage above a house with a--click to enlarge-- danse macabre representation; a couple weeks later we'd see a major danse macabre in a parish church in Burgundy; stay tuned |
Beautiful half-timbereds all over |
Further confirmation... |
Love what they do with the vines |
Still processing this one, although we're pretty sure part of it is Renaissance |
More storks |
Another street scene, with the little Hotel de Ville at the end |
Medieval torture instruments? |
The touristy crap is there, if not very conspicuous |
Loaded pretzels (loaded with ham and cheese) |
And others, differently loaded; and the ever-popular kugelhop cake |

You would have made a good Knight, Mark! The pretzels and other goodies look delicious.
