Tours

---

More wine, more cheese & more bread!!
Luvin it!
I kept trying to speak french but i always ended up saying "Par lay vou engla" ( do you speak English)
Tours is a real nice city, it has the la lier river running through it & a whole area of the city is really old school (100's of years old).

Tours is in a area that has a tone of castles, so we went on a tour (me, mum & 2 japs). We had a french guy driving us around in a mini van & this lad was a crazy driver! burning down skinny, windy roads, up over gutters and hitting the skids!

But we didn't crash & he took us to Leonardo De vinci's house with a museum & gardens with his inventions and prints all over the joint.

Then to a huge castle Chenonceau totally refurbished with all the furniture and art still in it, and big gardens surrounding.
Then on the way back we went to a little winery for a tasting.
top spot next Manchester.

Wow.
You're wearing a sweater!? My god. Not use to that. Looks good though. Mmm, wine and cheese. I actually just had the combination for the first time last month. My friend and I went for a picnic to Lake Huron (one of our great lakes.) It was beautiful but nothing compared to France.

Tours my favourite place in the world
I've lived there for nearly 2 years and a half. I currently live in the UK, and ... God how I miss that town. I was previleged enough to live in the "Vieux Tours" and that colour,that atmosphere, that air, those people will always be part of me.Tours is a landmark in my life...and I still dream of moving back there.
