Today's agenda is an explore around Colmar. Dave drove right to his usual parking spot near Little Venise. After exploring Little Venice, we walked along the canal to the covered market.

Next door was a park with a children's playground and benches where we ate our picnic lunch. I particularly was impressed with the climbing frame made of wood with all sorts of ways to climb around it. `

| The climbing frame I liked - not a very good picture. There were other places to climb and slide. |
After lunch we wandered the old city center, killing time until Lynn's doctor appointment at 3:15. With the increasingly hot weather, Lynn's asthma was interfering with life. There is an emergency number (not for calling police or ambulance) the pharmacist had given me should my asthma get worse. After talking to 5 different women who passed me from one agency to another, I was told I had an appointment at a Colmar address at 3:15 that afternoon. (Surprise ending below photos)

| This man was playing classical violin in the gallery of the Ancien Douanes. He was really worth listening to. |

Surprise ending: I arrived early for my doctor appointment - right doctor's name, right address. When I checked in with the receptionist, I was told that, no, I didn't have an appointment that day or any other. They had no record of my name. Since Dave had dropped me off to go buy groceries, I called him to have him come back to get me. Sheesh. Someone's not talking to the right person..... Oh well, time for aperos on the porch.
