Molly Lankford - June 5 in France

Today, Tuesday June 5th, we went to the chateau Chenonceau. We left the school at 9:00 and borrowed a charter bus for the ride there (luckily everyone had their own seat). On the way there, I noticed just how many poppies (coqulicots) there were that lined the road. When we got there, we all split up - Julia and I went to the chateau first. We both agreed that the best room was the Black Room, but all of the others were just at intricate and beautiful. One of the first sights of the chateau was the green algae infested moat, another sight was the tower that had a gift shop. I, unfortunately did not get to see the garden, but the maze led us to a rather relaxing place to sit in the shade. After this, we went to have lunch in a nearby town.

During lunch, most of us discussed how our families asked us how many sandwiches we wanted (and how we only received 3). My lunch box got attacked by bugs and I was forced to give it to Max. Many of us just sat around; and some of us walked in the town; very tired.
