Today we saw more castles. Three of em. The first was called Azay. It was small, but very charming. It is called the fairytale castle of France because it sits in water and it has beautiful gothic towers and we walked around the gardens, including a cool hedge maze which fascinated me because I could feel like I was in the Triwizard tournament for a few, brief moments of my life.
Next castle was the coolest. It was called Chenonceau and it sits in a river. It was big, and grand, and beautifully decorated on the inside. Big, vast hallways with black and white checkered tile, and giant kitchens with beautiful copper pots and pans--which I was slaughtered for photographing using a flash. Seriously, the guard walked up to my friend Matt and said “you tell that blonde friend of yours that we will take her camera if she uses a flash again.” I will post a picture of this castle from google because I couldn’t get a good enough angle to show you how amazing it was.
Next castle was Amboise. In contrast to the others which were in the countryside, this one was smack in the middle of a little town. It was nice and all, but the neatest part was that Leonardo diCaprio was buried there.
Oops, I mean daVinci. No need to cry.
We have had some of the most amazing food on this bus trip. Veal, roasted chicken with apples, crème brulée, yummy veggies, things I don’t recognize, avocado mousse with parmesan crust. I mean, wow.
I’ve been sharing a hotel room with Amanda whom I love.

They must have known I was coming.
