The visit to Loire Valley was unexpected wonderful. Ed has been a very gracious team leader. It was also great to get to know some of his friends. Loire Valley was rich in history, especially during the high middle age. The stories of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the lion Heart, Knights of Templar, Joan of Arc...are fascinating yet so profoundly sad to me.
I posted some of the pictures I took on two you tube clips:
