Today, Bucknell went on another excursion to the town of Candes. This town was the deathplace of St. Martin. When he died, citizens of Tours went to Candes and stole his body, they carried it through the window and sent it down the Loire! He is now buried at our Cathedral. Then, the professors suggested a small walk... but surprise! There were boats waiting for us! We took a boat ride on the Loire and they had sandwiches prepared for us! We then went to the Abbey at Fontrevraud... the weather today was UNBELIEVABLE. It was so hot and sunny! I came home and bought ice cream to end the day in the summery-est way possible!

My time in Tours is coming to an end. I have just one more week before I go on Easter vacation with my parents and then fly home.... When I get home, it will be 50 degrees and rainy... compared to the 75 and sunny that I am used to here! What a change it will be!
Also, this morning I woke up to flowers on my doorstep- a present from my noisy neighbor who threw the party... well that was nice!
