Solo female travel advice = happiness.

I usually travel alone. There are hundreds of reasons to do so, many of which I mention in these posts. But what it comes down to is: Either learn to get along in strange places without your friends, or stay home!

Langeais Castle

Well, today I woke up to 5 cm of snow and absolutely nothing to do.  All my lessons for this semester are planned, my apartment is clean, and I wasn't hungry.  I had even already used up my weekly allowance of do-nothing-lay-around-watch-hulu time.

Luckily, Tours is only a few minutes from almost every castle in the Loire valley.  Today I decided to go to one on my own (the other lectrices were either planning or sleeping.  I swear I have friends.).  It was snowing and although that provided for beautiful scenery, it also made me realize I need new snow boots, because mine are not waterproof.  I realized that about 10 minutes after leaving my apartment, but all the stores were closed so I soldiered on with absolutely frozen feet.  Gosh, I tell the best back-stories!

Anyway, this castle was very interesting.  I invite you to read about it here.

Place Plumereau, next to my apartment.
