October 31 Happy Halloween

Today is day two and if breakfast is anything to judge by, we need to get a lot of walking in each day to keep our girly figures.  The food is all fresh and yummy!  We had a walking tour for a few hours this morning in Basel .  We saw the gorgeaus cathedral with tons of influences from all through the medieval times.  The stone work is just stunning.  At the city hall, there was a beautiful fresco with Lanskeneckt (sp?) pictures all through.  The open air market was a treat with the smells of lovely cheeses, cured meats and fresh pastries. 

Now if we can only somehow find a subtle way to ask some of the people around us to cut down on the amount of perfume they are wearing on the ship...it's enough to choke you. 

Tonight should be fun as the crew has decorated the dining room with carved pumpkins, we have the captain's reception and dancing.
