I get to Lutterbach and roll down Wilson Rd ringing my bell hoping to catch Sams attention. No luck. I call from a pay phone and he is there. He's a laid back, easy going fellow who's easy to talk to and better yet, easy to understand. He's done a few long tours and is already planning his next trip. I also discover that he makes guitars. He shows me some and they play beautifully and look great! He has real skill but he just likes to build them and doesn't really play. Funny. He treats me to a beer and some cooked vegetables. I also need to thank his girlfriend Alicia as it she who offered Sam in lieu of her place which I found out is one and the same! I have a tough time accessing his wifi so no contact with places further down the road yet.
I head out in the morning which is sunny and fresh. Another nice change. Enjoyable rides through the small villages and a breakfast stop for some bread treats. So happy to be back in France.
Afternoon is slightly marred by hailstorms and rain but I wait it out under an overpass. Am surprised to find Colmar does not have a McDos so I am forced to hang out in a cafe named Jupiler. Famous thing about Colmar is that it is the birthplace of the guy who designed the Liberty Statue. Off to Strassbourg tomorrow and stopping somewhere between Colmar and there tonight.
