Leonardo and the King

Auntie was much happier with Breakfast today!  Croissants, Jam, All the coffee everything she wanted, as well as eggs and bacon for Kathy and Dean.  We were all happy and Auntie  even snuck out a goodie for Godi!  Off we went to Amboise.  Uncle Joey was there before with Gogi and Auntie, you will have to ask him about it!  Do you know what we have in our laps?
It is a very fun place and we liked it a lot.




We got to have chocolate and caramel crepes for a snack.


 Then we went to the castle, King Charles and Leonardo were such good friends that the King had a tunnel built between their houses so they could visit anytime they wanted!  The Kings castle is where te round building and chappel are, can you see them?  What a long tunnel, but nice in the rain and snow!

Then Leonardo died the king buried him in his own chapel ( church).  

Look at the beautiful window over Leonardos grave.
Can you see the gargoyle?  Do yo know what a gargoyle is for?
Can you see the antlers on the steeple of the chapel?
After all that enjoying we were hungry, Auntie had Tartare de Boeuf and she was very happy,does it look good to you?! 
And a goodie of course

Back to La Roserie for a hot bath and bed!
