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.
