__//** May 3rd **//__ We took the train again and there was no chicken farm. I noticed some huge birdlike things in the sky. The houses are huge. It is very much cleaner and there are not any shells. There are a lot of war memorials (WWI and I guess there was a WWII) The houses are very unlike what I saw in 1923. There was no barbed wire.

We rode a motorboat along the Loire river along with every tourist here. Then we rode to the chateau in a modern version of a Model T car. There was no feature near Cing Mars and it seems very much rockier. My rheumatism is worse and I'm sad about that.

We started for Blois at 9:30. The weather is beautiful outdoor biking and I see that people are biking.
