Chalon Sur Saone

Today is Saturday and Bob and I decided not to take the tour.  We had breakfast with the gang and then came back to the cabin for a bit.  After the tours left, I tired to do the blog but the internet would only work when I was on deck 2 at the "business center".  The business center is a desk in the hall with  one apple computer.  But I used my laptop and was able to enter the last two days.

Bob and I then took a walk around this city.  We visited the Cathedral of St. Vincent.  Really nice cathedral.  Great tapestry which dated back to 1510.  Outside it appeared as a protest was gathering.

 The doors to the Cathedral were open and you could sit in the square and to seemed as if you could attend mass while drinking your coffee.

Here in Europe, it appears as if you only sit or stand to attend mass.  No kneeling pads seen.

The organ at the rear of the Cathedral.

Another view of the interior.

The building around the square all look like they belong in England.

This is the square by the Cathedral.

The other side of the square.

We continued our walk through the city up to the park and gardens. The map we were using was not as good as it could have been but we managed to make it there and back.  Partly by dumb luck.

Love the color of these flowers.

And the lily pads.

I thought this looked like a Dr. Seuss tree.

Lunch when the tour returned.  Cory is in some pain so Anne took him his lunch to eat in the cabin.

People were packing to go home or whatever their plans so the afternoon was quiet.  We took our nap and then got dressed for dinner.

Cocktails with the group.  Cory feeling much better.  Dinner was okay.  I ordered the tomato pie which turned out to be like a pizza.  So I at two slices and left the rest.  The brought a cake for Cory as his birthday is Sunday the 24th.

Back to the cabin to pack and then bed.
