A Visit From Home
Sarah's mom flew in last night and to get her into the French spirit we had a home cooked chicken cordon blue dinner complete with French wine and a fresh baguette from the local boulangerie.
On the agenda for today was a drive out to see Chateau Chambord (no time to get over jet lag when you come to visit us!). It is an awesome chateau, an old hunting lodge on 5440 hectares enclosed in 32km of wall, with 77 staircases 282 fireplaces, 426 rooms (but only 80 are open to the public) and the famous double helix staircase possibly designed by da Vinci.

Whoa. It doesn't look real!
And what a day for it- did you get burnt?
Yes it was an awesome day but luckily I still have a bit of a base tan left from Singapore - although it is fading fast :(
Is this the chateau that has a whole hall full of antlers? Sob...Bambi... :-(
I guess no parties at this chateau, eh?

That room was a bit disturbing, then the room next door had a stuffed fox and samples of traps. We didn't spend long in that area and headed back into seeing their extravagance.
There were whole wings that you couldn't get into - I wonder if anyone would notice a party going on...
