Travels of Europe Part 1... from Kelli

Close your eyes and imagine the finest table set with the finest meats, cheeses, fruits and wines you've ever tasted, smelled, or touched... and you can to begin to understand my wonderfully stimulating times I've spent in the last 12 days~


England was by accident and we really weren't prepared for.  It got us to Europe and that was the goal.  By chance while stopped to change tour buses, our guide looked at me and said "oh watch someone important might be coming."  So I watched with camera around my neck, and at around 30mph Queen Elizabeth's was driven by us...with my mouth open and no time to take a picture, she was gone. That was within the first hour of our tour...    


  
                    Twin Bridge, London                                         Chenonceau Castle, France 


  
       inside Chenonceau (Shannon-so)                                           Bella , I and Rock Island Shawl
   
             It's a privately owed castle, most everything in the castle you can touch.


      The kitchen reminded me of Downton Abbey, wrong country...


  Was really hard to say good-bye  to this 14 century castle built on the Cher River~  My favorite visit!
