Day 8 by Justin

We started off the day by going to the Chateau de Chinon. It was a hike up a big hill to get to the entrance, but when we got up there, the view was worth it. Overlooking the entire area, you could see everything from the top of the tower inside the walls. We learned the history of the chateau, which was regarded as one of the most impenetrable fortresses for a couple hundred years, and watched a video about the significance it had. After taking way too many photos, we packed up and drove to the goat farm. We ate lunch there and then got to see and play with all of the goats. We got to see how they made the cheese at the farm and ate differently aged cheeses to taste the difference. Once we were back in Tours, a small group went to Indoor Go Karting. We took the tram from downtown Tours to get there and I got a baguette on the way. We spent a few hours Go Karting and afterwards I went home and ate dinner with my Karim (my exchange student) and his family.
