It was a Tuesday and we went to the market in Bourgueil, had a drink on the 'parvis' of the church at Candes Saint Martin and a picnic lunch near the village of Montbazon. The photos show a lovely sunny day. So you are probably right! It was a perfect day, in spite of the fact that it was the 13th day I spent in the Loire Valley!ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-47169400867148514182010-04-23T19:22:57.577+02:002010-04-23T19:22:57.577+02:00Just think, Martine: did anything really bad happe...Just think, Martine: did anything really bad happen on your 13th day in the Loire Valley?

Thank you. <br />As for the Aqueduct of Luynes, I think you would be disappointed as it's not even half the size of the Pont du Gard.<br /><br />Dedene, Perhaps you're right. We'll see when the time comes!<br /><br />Carolyn, Maybe I could do like they do in certain hotels ... I saw it once in Geneva, where there was no elevator button for the 13th floor. <br /><br />Nadege, Thank you for the birthday wishes! You're right about the date.<br /><br />Jean, I won't take that bet, because I don't like to loose :))ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-89520712568779626412010-04-22T23:34:17.293+02:002010-04-22T23:34:17.293+02:00Martine - you strike me as too sensible a person t...Martine - you strike me as too sensible a person to pay heed to silly superstitions like 13 being unlucky !!
