Alsace and the 3 Fs

Ahhh, Alsace, dream of every German, the lost provinces; la route de vin, the small beautiful villages, Hansi the artist have created an Alsace that still exist and true, one can find it in almost every corner of this part of France. For me, married to my beloved Alsacian wife from a small village in between Strasbourg and Karlsruhe, Alsace has become a love hate relationship. It's one of these typical Alsace weekends. A weekend with the in-laws. My 3 Fs; Flammkuchen, Fachwerkhouses and Family.
The first F(lammkuchen) or as the French call it Tartes Flambées, you must love it but after the 5th one and especially the day after you can only regret it. As tasty as the first F is, as heavy it lies in your stomach, still next time, we want to go again, after all it is delicious.
The second F(achwerkhouse) is as beautiful as ever. Most of the villages have at least a few. The oldest ones date back to the 15th century. I could watch them again and again.
The third F(amily) is a rather different story. Big hearts but completely different from us and with no understanding for our life rather adds to the hate part but at the same time you must also love them.
Two days pass rather quickly and this evening already 500kms separate us from each other. Till next time, when the Alsace hate love story starts again.
