Visited Amboise Chateau in the morning and Villandry Chateau in the afternoon.

After being cool in London and Paris (just as well considering the amount of walking around we did) it is now warming up, with the temp at 36 degrees today.

The chateaus were amazing to see, and Kim loved the gardens. French royalty had it pretty good.

Leonardo Da Vinci is buried in Amboise Chateau.

Each chateau has its own chapel, and this one contains the burial place of Leonardo Da Vinci, possibly the greatest mind who has ever lived. You will see why in tomorrow's blog.
