Bon jour from Amboise

Bon jour,
I'm currently at a cybercafe in Amboise, France. We're in the Loire valley area, ambling our way south. I'm doing just fine with the car. It is a standard transmission, and it's quite fun to drive.
In Normandy, our hosts were British and WWII scholars. We heard some amazing stories, saw some historic sites that aren't in the books.
I've seen my first Chateau and I have to say, I think it's plenty, but I will see one more tomorrow. I'm quite excited about seeing the caves on Friday and right now, I'm really hankering to be in Paris.
So far, all is very very well and the French are incredibly kind.
Au revoir
