First Weekend at the Abbey :)

This weekend all the students went to Chateau de Chenonceau. This is where King Henery's mistress, Diane de Poiters, lived and after his death his wife Catherine de' Medici kicked her out, and she lived there till her death. The chateau was beautiful and it was great to see all the Abbey students really appreciate its history. Next, we took the train to Tours, France. We visited an art museum, Saint Gatien's Cathedral, and many of us visited the studio where Dr. Netter's art was on display. He is so talented, and my sister and I bought one of his prints. When we arrived back in Pontlevoy all of us went to La Commerce for the band party. It was so much fun meeting and talking with the locals. The weekend was a blast. Thanks to our professors and staff for the fun-filled weekend :)
