Today’s free camping is in Avolsheim at the foot of the Vosges Mountains. We had planned to eat out, but the restaurants shut after lunch and did not reopen. This is a sleepy little town with flowers everywhere. Our campsite is along a little river filled with ugly geese and beautiful ducks that G fed some stale baguette. We didn’t see the storks even though they are almost directly over the camper, but I think they are strict carnivores. There is a sign that explains that they can be bribed with sugar on the window sill to bring you a little brother or sister. Probably you have to use beet sugar, not cane sugar.
