4/9 - Instead of taking the train from Madrid, to France, we drove with Anjo, our host from Ceceda. Anjo was taking 2 dogs to their new homes in Germany and Holland.We left at 7:00 in the morning and passed through passed the Picos de Europa, Basque country, and up through French countryside. Including breaks it took 12 hours to go from Asturias Spain, to Tours, France. Renee did a good job taking turns driving the massive van.
Tours is beautiful. It has tons of old buildings, beautiful architecture, and gardens. It also doesn't have many tourists, so it's very clean.
We met up with our friend Dave who is studying abroad in Tours - he lives right next to the Cathedral of Saint Gatien.
It is big.
We took a walk inside - there are some great stained class windows portraying stories from the bible.
We also made sure we topped by the center of town, found a Cafe, and got crepes.
a cute town with cobble stone streets - I am so there! Nice to see the update! Dave looks very Parisian!
