What can I say? (A Gallic shrug of the shoulders!) This place is wonderful. We are walking around with our eyes wide and our mouths amazed. This is a beautiful place. Everywhere there are flowers; the people are friendly, and the food is simple and delicious. We went into a wine shop and tried the wine before we bought it. We bought a loaf of bread and she gave it to us wrapped in a napkin. Mass was in French, but as it is all over the world, the same liturgy and consecration. We loved it. We're off to a cheese shop now-le fromagerie-to buy the famous Loire cheese, cottin de chavignol.
Tomorrow, Monday, all shops are closed for the day, and most restaurants as well, so we are stocking up for an eat at home day. We also start class tomorrow. That will be interesting, and I'm afraid, a little frustrating. 
This is where we are staying, and also the site of the school. The second floor windows are our apartment.
I hear a live concert outside. Gotta go!
