Go chateau hopping in the Loire

“I’m not proud to say it took me a mere two châteaux before having a meltdown. Not a full-on meltdown, but I got really hungry and pissy. I’m pretty sure that long ago when this blog was a mere infant, I instituted the rule that one should not attempt three museums in one day, and châteaux count too because even though they aren’t “museums,” these châteaux are in fact museums.”

“We were in the Loire Valley during an unusually warm October and had all the wrong clothes for it. I remember standing outside Loches sporting a raincoat, a sweater, and a sincere desire for a totally different wardrobe.”
