We enjoyed our time in Tours. So much, we decided to stay another day. It was a real relaxing day. I made an appointment for a manicure up the street from the hotel (no easy feat, since they did not have the FAINTEST idea what I was talking about with "acrylic" and "shellac").
First we went to the Cathedral St Gatien. Started in the 1100's and finished in the 1500's. The towers are 87 meters high and 97 meters long.

It was pretty impressive for a little town like Tours.
Then we went to get a sandwich, which was a Donner Kebab today.
 |
| The old part of town. Full of timber framed buildings like in Normandy |
 |
| Found a kitchen store, then some hot chocolate for Jerry |
Found a hair salon that I could pronounce the name, and took the plunge and went in. They cut my hair and it is not bad. So new nails, and new hair. I am good to go!
Had a great dinner last night at Bistro Rossini which had a plate of fish and scallops with Burre Blanc sauce. OMG! The new Hollandaise! Dessert was death by chocolate....chocolate cake, chocolate brownie, chocolate ice cream, chocolate macaroon, and Cream Anglaise. That wasn't too bad either.
We are eating well finally since we got to France.
