My wife, Eleanor and I took the train from Paris to
Strasbourg, where we were met by our driver and guide, and the minibus which
goes along with the boat. We stopped off in Barn for an hour on the way. Then
we were taken to Nancy where the boat was kept.
After the other passengers arrived, we had our first
dinner on the boat. After dinner we walked into downtown Nancy, a village with
a large square and wooden houses.

Rained last night, cloudy in the morning, 69°F
We spent about two hours in Nancy, and then sailed on
the Canal de la Marne au Rhine. Kind of a lazy day. Eating breakfast, lunch,
and dinner, after dinner we watched a tape on Baccarat, where we will visit
tomorrow. It was pleasant to sit out on deck (甲板)and
watch the scenery go by at about 3 mph.

This mourning we drove over to Baccarat and toured its
museum and the church, which has this unbelievable lamp that is going on a
world tour the next day. We did lost of shopping, then walked across the bridge
to see a very, very modern Catholic church with special Baccarat windows.
We drove to the top of the Voges Mountains and started
down the eastern side. Later we drove to Sorrenbourg to see the 13th century
church at the Cordeliers. It contains the largest window by Mar.

Today we sailed from Schneckenbush to Saverne. We went
though two caves, an extremely unusual part of the journey. This river scenery
is very different. We were in a mountain valley with grassland on one side and
a forest beginning to show some color on the other.
