Okay so we left Paris today and drove through the Loire Valley to the Chamborg Castle... oh yes I saw the first Castle in my life it was soooo amazing! It even had a moat in front! Missy and I took pictures by the moat, the kind that we look like princesses thinking. We walked through the village and went through the little shops. They had all of this “Knight” and “Princess stuff” but we didn’t get any of that. We had our lunch on the lawn in front of the castle. Then we hopped on the bus and started to drive to Bordeaux. We took a rest stop and had to go to the loo… hahahahaha there was squatting toilets! We walked in and I thought that it was just some kind of drain thing in the floor… the floors were completely wet so I was a little confused thinking toilets had overflown. Then I found out that was how you go to the bathroom I couldn’t believe they were serious, Missy ventured in and tried it out. Then when we walked into the building there were toilets in there. We were a little upset but Missy isn’t sad she experienced something new :) We got some ice cream which was soooo delicious! The chocolate is amazing and the ice cream is creamy. Then we finished our drive to Bordeaux, I haven't seen the "vinyard" part of it yet in fact we are kind of in a suburb of this city but I guess this is kind of like just a stop on the way to Barcelona since it is kind of far away. We did have dinner at a local restaurant and then took a walk along the river and walked over to this huge church we saw in the distance, then came back to the hotel we did a lot of traveling today.
I saw the first real castle
