A Chateau AHHH!

On Wednesday Oct 21st, 2009 we went to our first chateau, Amboise. I was really excited and didn't care how small it looked from the outside. The weather was really stinky. It was raining and cold, not the way you want it to be when your going to your first castle. We managed to take pictures and only have one umbrella. Yes just go ahead and laugh, you know we can't remember everything. Gosh. We were one of the first ones there, which was good because we could have more room to take pictures. We first went to the church, where we found Divinci's resting place. We didn't realize that he was buried there, so that was interesting. The inside of the castle was really neat, they even had a fire burning in the Council Chamber. Summer had her bottom practically in the fire, I thought she was gonna burn it. Kinda funny. Muahaha. The Stained glass was very pretty and all the details made everything stand out. There were Fleur De Li's everywhere, on pillars, walls, and chairs. It was like a scavenger hunt, instead they were easier to spot but not everytime. Stairs............oh boy you know where I am going with this. We would go up and up feeling like it was never ending. Wait for it........and then down never ending stairs. I hope i lose some thigh out of this. They had some very cool portraits of the very first to the latest residents. We will have some of the portraits in our pics, so check em out. The grounds were very pretty and you could see the whole town from up top. Oh yeah, forgot to mention a disappointment from summer and I. I really wanted to see a dungeon, don't ask why. Summer says too many movies but I don't think so..... Summer wanted to go up into the biggest tower but no we weren't allowed to do that either. We are hoping in the upcoming castles we will, so hope for us.
