We all got a pretty decent night's sleep last night, although we were all awake for some time during the night. At about 8 am, we got up and dressed and ate the delicious, still warm, baguette that David had gone out for. Then we headed to the Cathedral, which was spectacular.

Right across from the Cathedral was the Palais Rohan, which included three museums: The Musee des Beaux Arts, Musee Archeologique and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, in addition to the Grand Apartment and the Petit Apartment of the Palace. |

We then went back to the Cathedral to climb up the over 330 steps to the viewing platform at the top of the church. The views in every direction were amazing.
Next
was the Musee de L'Oeuvre Notre Dame, another Museum of art and
sculpture!

Next, we went to the Historical Museum, and finally to a much needed lunch break! |

After lunch we wandered around going in and out various small shops. We also strolled through Place Gutenberg.

David and Deena then headed back to the apartment, stopping at a health fair nearby, and then a patisserie. I went back to buy something I'd seen earlier. On my way back, I took a wrong turn and found a street fair! When I got back to the apartment, we had tea and cheesecake! Then David decided to check out the street fair for himself!
While we were getting ready for dinner, we became aware of a lot of police activity outside our window. The street was cordoned off, and there were loads of police cars. We later found out there was a bomb scare right near our apartment!! |

We had to detour but got to our restaurant, Maison Kammerzell, on time. This restaurant is in a building from the 1400s. It is famous and was delicious! There are frescoes on the walls painted by Leo Schnug who was haunted by a hallucination of a cat, which can be seen in his frescoes! The food was excellent!
