Day two: castles and parapets and unicorns

Japanese tourists at Château Chenonceau, where lived Henri II, Catherine de Médicis, and some other people too. I photographed myself in their mirrors, I did! The drizzle got me grumpy as we ran through the maze escaping the Queen of Hearts screaming, off with their heads! Living in France has given me new insight into Alice's adventures in Wonderland: English girl crosses channel (hello, long dark tunnel?) and finds herself in a land filled with beautiful gardens where everything is just a little bit off and doesn't always make sense...









At the end of the day, we spotted another castle from the highway and drove towards it for a wonderful dusk themed photo opportunity. Mary Timony would have dug it.
