We had a wet trip to Blois. Lots of confusion about train schedules, but it all worked out well for us. Pouring rain, we were late out of Dijon back to Paris where we had to change to another train station. We missed our connecting train, and were told to await another one at 8 PM. Will, ever observant, noted a train at 6:30 and no train at 8 so we rushed to that train. Arriving in Blois it was raining cats and dogs--there were big poodles everywhere-but fortunately our hotel was directly across from the train station. Didn't look like much, but it has worked out well. Nice young couple run it much like a B&B and that is nice.
Yesterday we went to see the chateaus. They were impressive and everyine seemed to enjoy that. Last night was the "Son et Lumiere" at the Royal Chatgeau in Blois. Really a spectacular show. Today is a free day and tomorrow we head out for Brittany and the city of Rennes.
