On what will probably go down as the best excursion of the year, we got to see several amazing works of art today, buildings that are simply incredible. The program took us to 3 amazing "chateaux de la Loire", Azay-le-Rideau, Chenonceaux, and the best of all in my opinion, Chambord. I only uploaded pictures of the first two because I need to go to bed here, but it was simply incredible. How people managed to build amazing structures like this back then is beyond me..but I am certainly in awe of them. As great as it is on the inside, I could just marvel at the view from the outside of all of these places, it is just amazing. Having access to places like these is something that should not be taken for granted, it is a treat. I bought a nice poster of all of the chateaux in the loire valley for future use in the classroom, pretty good souvenir for the weekend..
This is certainly a great way to start the week if I'm running on the US schedule, but in France, this is a great way to end the week...seeing that the French week runs from Monday to Sunday. So I'll post the Chambord photos tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to a great week ahead!
