Hi Dean, list
Yes, having a car is a good tip to attend both Ensisehim and Ste Marie (80
km distant from Ensisheim). Note here that Ensisehim ends Sunday night
(June 17) and Ste Marie starts very early next week (officially on
Wednesday, non-officially, before....).
Camper is the real tip, especially if you want to go to Ste Marie the
following week, where hotels are basically fully booked at that period of
the year, unless you move at least 20-30 km further in the country.
Concerning hotels in Enssiehim, while "La Couronne" is now fully booked,
the brand new one ("Domaine du Moulin", see circular) located right next to
the square, still has free rooms. It is a 4 star hotel, at least equivalent
to "La Couronne", at least in price: Around 72 euro a single room breakfast
included, 78 for double bed. Note that the nearby "Niemerich" (5 km
distant) offers rooms for 46 euro/2 persons.
Regarding socalizing in Ensisheim ( = having a lot of fun all together),
the dinner-party is maintained at "La Couronne" on Friday night (June 15).
Reservation highly recommended (we are right now more than 70....).
Another dinner is planned, as in the past, on the main square, in front of
the Regency Palace, on Saturday night (followed by music, dancing and
perhaps some beer or wine for those who really hate water...).
We had struggled hard to maintain the wild boar. However, this time, it
will be prepared by the (excellent) cook of "La Couronne" and served "in
another style".
And Dean, yes, definitely, I'll take care to save the tongue for your best
appreciation. Especially if you can show up with your wife
Dean, if you have in your carry-ons (hm!) the 900+ kg morroccan stuff, I
still have some table for you...
Shipping stuff from Enssiheim: yest, the best tip so far is Dean's proposal.
But if you wish to ship some parcels to Ensisehim befroe the show, contact
me for arrangements. If not too heavy (as it happened last year with ouyr
Russian freinds - oh, my poor back!), you can ship to me. But write first.
Great day to all,
Zelimir

Me and my meteorite mom (MARILYNSOFFERINGS on ebay)
have a european vacation planned and will most likely
be at Ensisheim (And St Marie a week later). I am
hoping (Unless the moroccans give me to many hassles
as I do have 900 kilos of meteorites in morocco right
now that I am piking up in st marie) that I wont be
selling and will just be socializing and enjoying the
shows.
If you go you want to go to St marie the next weekend
and if you havent been in that area before there are a
lot of nice small old style towns that is worth
visiting and off the main tourists areas that you can
go see between the two shows.
A car is a must (Probably cheaper to rent in amsterdam
or paris than in germany or switzerland) and hotel
rooms are hard to get (And probably overpriced). A
few people bring a camper van to ensisheim but from
either st marie or ensisheim 30 euro a night hotels
are probably easily available within a 20 minute
drive. This might screw up your drinking though - and
the ensisheim show organizers puts of a really nice
party during the show. The specially made wine is
great and keeps you coming back for more but the
meteor beer sucks so stay away from the meteor tent.
(And Zelimir, if you have wild boar again this year I
am making a special request for the tongue - a
delacacy that I have learned to like from having a
philippino wife where it is a specialty).
It is a nice area of europe and off the tourist route
so being there with a car makes the shows a good time
to visit the area.
Shipping from the area is a bitch but if there are any
overseas dealers going who will be shipping hundreds
of kilos of stuff and who have shipping problems email
me off list and I probably have a company that will
take care of your shipping needs.
Cheers
DEAN
