This morning we were up and
mobilized at a much more reasonable hour.
Not compared to when I am actually working and being productive at home
– but better compared to the last week here!!
We hopped on our bikes and rode
down into Montrichard so that we could take the train into Tours. There weren’t many options for train times,
so I am glad that we got up at at it!!
My bike started to fall apart en route!
The handle bars were not bolted in any longer, so I pretty much had to
cycle without any pressure on the handles.
Seriously!!
We went through a park right near
the Cathedral were there was a tree that was planted over 100 years ago. It was fantastic. After that, we walked down a pedestrian
street looking for a place to eat outside.
I guess it isn’t really France prime-time eating outside weather. I thought it was though.
Eventually we made it back to the
train station and took the train home.
The “best” part was once we got off the train and got back to our
bikes. My handlebars were obviously
still broken and Shawn’s tires were almost completely flat. It was pretty amusing. Thankfully it was the last day for riding the
bikes!

The train ride was lovely and it
was not bad weather. Tours is much
bigger than I thought it would be! It is
a funky little city! There are lots of
schools and even an above-ground tram thing.
We didn’t really have any mission while we were there. We were following the maps for the city and
trying to find everything that we needed to see. Finding the Cathedral was funny…we kept
turning on streets in and out and all of a sudden there it was. It was huge and just right there. It was a great Cathedral to go through
because there were detailed explanations of the images in the stain glass
windows. I learned a lot.

After lunch we found the touristy
street and poked around some shops. I
found a great hat and scarf for Shawn!
He resisted, but once he realized how cute he was there was no stopping
him. We also went into the science and
discovery store and spent an awesome amount of time in the great massage
chairs.

Dinner was a mix of extra
food. We had a lot of food. Yep. I
should be good on the food department for a while!
Last night in Angé! Soon to say goodbye to our “castle”.
Night!
