tour de park around the chateau

Today we wound our way through the huge expanse of land surrounding our lovely chateau....on bikes......for three hours. Despite my aggravated mood at having to wake up at 6:30 am in order to do nothing but sit around a crowded DMV- like atmosphere for 3 hours for no apparent reason, the bike ride was what I needed in order to get my mind off of my bad mood. The bike ride was wonderful and allowed us to discover what lays around us. It also helped calm me down from my homesickness because it reminded me of the woods around my house back home in Franklin, West Virginia, where my younger sister and I would play when we were younger, except much MUCH flatter. Remembering those good times I had and then being able to apply them to the present, helped me get over my bad mood and helped me enjoy having a wonderful time with some wonderful people. So here's to more aimless wonderings around the woods, hopefully we won't get lost next time.
