Little turrets and round towers and rooms wherever you look

Lunch -tomato and buffalo mozzarella tart and white wine next to the Ruess River
In Holland, they call his "pannekoek", or pancake. This would have been a good lunch for two people--too much for one.
I had a nice leisurely meal, sipping the delicious wine and jotting in my journal. Wonderful weather.
All around me, on both sides of the river was a big market--on this end a "green" market with fish, meat, cheese, bread, and produce, but, as I discovered later, futher down, next to the other bridge, a flea market.
Lunch with a swan
I sat at a table at a river-side cafe (Reuss River in Luzern). The weather was sunny and the swans were busy grooming themselves. These particular swans don't mind people. In fact, they hang around at the edge expecting handouts. The ducks and seagulls stick closeby to get the leftovers.
A painting from the other bridge
These are similar to those that burned except these are more religious and the others were historical.Sept 2007 - Chapel Bridge in Luzern
This bridge burned in the center several years ago - a conflagration. Many masterpieces were lost, since every few feet, the building contained a very old painting showing the history of the area.
Note the water tower next to the bridge. My Rick Steve's guidebook said that was there before the bridge was built.
