While we were waiting for the bus I shot these pictures. A guy rolls up in his pickup truck loaded with freshly harvested grapes and was unloading them. They were heavy as is evident from the pictures, they needed 2 people to pull it off the truck. The grapes go into te crushing bin. The empty truck then leaves for the vineyard to get some more grapes. All through the day and all through the villages, these activities go on. It was a lot of fun to be there, right in the midst of the area where they make vins de Alsace. I didn't see anyone jumping into the bins to crush the grapes. Do they still do that? I could have volunteered, it would make an incredible story.
