Wednesday, October 11

I had a very difficult time posting last night and finally it went through today. 
So, I decided to start a little earlier today. I'm thinking too many pictures hold it up!
We are in Kehl, Germany on the left bank of the Rhine. The right bank is France. 

We left the ship and went by bus for a walking city tour of Strasbourg with its cobblestone street, wooden houses, and picturesque canals. 


In Cathedral Square, we saw the magnificently restored Strasbourg Cathedral towering above merchant houses.  One of the finest of Europe's great Gothic cathedrals, it's 465 foot tall spires make it the tallest medieval building in Europe. We admired the Gothic rosette window, beautiful red sandstone portal, and the remarkable astronomical clock!

It has been an awesome day so far and the first day without rain!  Yippee!

  3. So glad the rIns have stopped. Weather can be crazy sometimes. We sat out on the deck today!
    Beautiful pictures and I wonder is tomorrow you'll see - ABC: another beautiful Church (cathedral). Isn't it amazing how magnificent they are and they took centuries to build.
    Enjoy, have fun and keep the pictures coming. 💜💜
