Last day in Blois in the Loire Valley, pronounced blu-a, not blaahhhhhhh as we thought. At least in France one can try & pronounce the names, in Iceland we stopped after the third letter, which is much safer on your throat.
We did a circuit of old houses of the rich and very rich, some lovely Chateaux. We went to Chateaux Chambord - the big daddy of the chateaux. It was built as a hunting lodge but at 426 rooms I think it got away from them a bit. Also went to Chevery where the descendants still live.
It made us home-sick for Rozelle, so much like our own home, although we don't have a kennel with 100 hunting hounds.
Tonight we have decided to stay at home, our last "home cooked meal (not in a shared kitchen)" was in San Fran.
