Friday in Burgundy

Yesterday we boarded the River Discovery II at Chalon-sur-Saone.  This morning we took a bus to Beaune which is in the heart of Burgundy.  We stopped to look at some vineyards and learned about the locations of the vines vs. quality.  In Beaune we visited Hotel-Dieu, a hospital that was established in 1400s and is famous for its patterned tile roof and that it actually operated for 500 years.  We also ventured down into a wine cellar and tasted five wines from Burgundy. A little shopping and then back to the bus for a snooze and ride to the boat.  After lunch, the boat turned around and headed south.  Went through a lock before docking at Tournus.  Chuck and I walked around in the light rain.  While exploring we discovered that most of the vacant storefronts, have murals in the Windows.  The murals are of different kinds of shops:  bookstores,
Toyshop, clothing store, fitness center, restaurant, etc..  The murals were clever and better to look at than empty storefronts.  Well, it is time for dinner.  Will close for now.
