Got up early to take a shower in the communal bathrooms at our Formula 1 hotel. No towels. But the bathrooms were conveniently equipped with body dryers (just like a hand dryer, but for your whole body. Obviously.)
After breakfast we set off for Angers where we visited the big fortress there. It was really cool, very old. Walked up along the ramparts and looked out over the city. I also saw a really neat and seriously old tapestry which illustrates the book of revelations. Bizarre.
Next stop was the old castle in Langeais. This is the place where king Charles VIII married the 14 year old Anne in a secret night-time ceremony--after kidnapping her--- in order to unite Brittany and France. Pouring pouring rain. But that just enhanced the experience I’m sure. The bus drive along the Loire river was beautiful. Reminded me of the river and countryside in Pride and Prejudice.
Sorry for some boring posts that have to happen, but this blog is part of my grade and I have to talk about every one of the sites we visit, even if I have no seductive anecdotes from the day. But in the end, no one forced you to read this.
We had the most delicious dinner here in Tours. Dr. LeBras orders everything in advance so we have no choice about what we're eating. I love it. Half the time I don't even know what I'm eating but everything has been very tasty. A strictly don't ask don't tell policy. Yum yum yum.
