Lin and Bill get to Langeais

Sorry about the radio silence-Lin Sue's Blackberry hit a blind spot for a couple of days so we couldn't post anything.

After we caught the belated train from Tours, we were able to make the connection to Langeais. [Info about the town and the castle at: http://www.casteland.com/puk/castle/centre/indreloire/langeais/langeais.htm] (They held the train at Tours, thank goodness.). The town was very picturesque-- lots of planted flowers and little parks to sit in. Bill and I picked up some fresh strawberries and potato chips (come on of course Lin Sue needs chips!).

We studiously avoided the very retentive fellow traveler who kept asking about the return train to Tours. She was alone and seemed to be trying to catch our eye as though she wanted to join us. (We're not that friendly, however. Oops). It's terribly lonely I think to travel alone.

We returned to Tours and decided to get a quick dinner at Hippopotamus as it was threatening to rain. Bill had "the worst barbeque ribs he's ever had in his life". While Lin shared her steak.
:-)

See you later!
