Amboise was my favorite chateau because that is where the famous Leonardo Da Vinci is buried. Francis the 1st, Da Vinci's good friend, gave Da Vinci a small house to live this town. Da Vinci's died there and in the arms of his good friend Francis the 1st. Visiting his home was incredible because you walked where this Reinssance man walked, where he lived, and most importantly where he thought. His house was very small, however the grounds around it were large and beautiful. His final show Da Vinci's had all of his works on his lawn allowing many people to come and enjoy. He was not only an artist, but he was a engineer, a mathematician, a architect, and a scientist. His devices and contraptions that were all over his home and his gardens. Next, the Abbey Group had lunch on the river and we just enjoyed each other and laughed about past experience and funny monents. Then, Carlee and I visited the Chateau. We saw the chapel where Da Vinci was buried. The chapel is very simply. It just blew me away that I was fortunate to see where Da Vinci lived and where he is buried. After seeing the chateau we met up with the group and enjoyed the town because it was a beautiful day in the Loire Valley.
