The Loire Castles

Actually, I'm pretty sure the tour dude yesterday said something about the ones we saw not being in the Loire Valley, but that's not really the point, is it?
So, as well as two fancy castles, Cheverny and Chambord, we drove by what locals call "the Love Temple." It's not a temple though, it's a manufacturing plant belonging to a pharmaceutical company named Pfizer. Half the workers do research and half of them make the product and one of the Pfizer products is "the love pill for men," better known as Viagra. The tour guide though he was pretty funny. And he was very French, and by that I mean that he was very frank when discussing the love affairs and murders that happened at the castles. His terminology was very un-business-like, for example, "caught with his trousers down," and I though that was very amusing since there was an old lady and a couple of Japanese tourists with us.
Today, I got up with the intention of going for a bike ride, but by the time I got to the rental place and saw the prices, I wasn't so sure any more. So, I went to the Royal Castle of Amboise which was down the street while I considered my options. I knew that there was a free train (because of my Eurail Pass) available in the afternoon, but what would I do until then? There was nothing I particularly needed to do for a few hours, so I figured that biking to Chenonceau would fill the time if nothing else. And now my butt hurts and I need to stretch my legs and shower, cause it was quite hilly. They have this bike route that is actually longer (13 km) then the car route (10-11 km, two different signs saying different things confused me on that one), and I am hoping it's because of some mountain in the way or something that I took the 13 km route, cause if it's because my route (ie. the bike route) was just more pretty... well, whatever, I did it anyway.
After I had seen the spectacular Chenonceau Chateau, I had another decision. Do I bike back, or wait for two hours and catch the train, which is totally do-able with my bike. There were two reasons I rode back: taking the train would make me return the bike late, which I didn't think was a good idea; what would I do for two hours? so once again, I was faced with the same issue as this morning, really. I thought a lot on my bike ride. Normally, when I bike somewhere, I listen to music, but I was on these thin country roads so I needed to be able to hear if there were cars behind me. It was a good trip and it kept me busy so it served it's purpose. I don't know if I'll rent another bike tomorrow to see a good sunset though like I was going to. Something tells me that my legs are going to be pretty tired after that.
Okay, off to see Mont-Saint-Michel tomorrow or the next day.
Aurevoir!
