Day 17, 20 January 2013

It snowed today! For someone who does not see a lot of snow, it was a very exciting day.

Yesterday, we went to Chenonceau, the chateau where Catherine de' Medici and Diane de Poitiers lived.  Needless to say, it was absolutely beautiful.  When we arrived, there was ice on the ground, so we were pleased to discover the fireplace with a roaring fire inside the chateau.

This morning when I woke up, I did not expect to see the street covered in snow.  This afternoon, we met up for tea and Scrabble at our professor's house, and I returned home to a delicious dinner that finished with a piece of chocolate with melted chocolate in the inside.  It was delightful.  Here are the pictures for the weekend:

 In front of Chenonceau.  

 I had a Cinderella moment.  In my own little corner, in my own little chair...

 The gallery in Chenonceau.  Doesn't it look like there should be a ball going on?

 The beautiful chapel at Chenonceau.

Snow in the garden!
