Legally Blonde's Proceedings

I wasn't really sure how Day 5 was going to play out, and that isn't how I like to do things.  I like firm plans!  Originally I planned to tour some villages around Colmar and use the holiday bus as my transportation.  A month or so before I traveled, I discovered that the bus I would depend on for Day 5 only runs on the weekend.  I looked around online and couldn't find a tour company or private driver to meet my needs (there are tour companies, but many go to the wineries, and I'm a weirdo who does NOT like wine...ok that's generous...I think wine is terrible).
