Welcome to our second day in France! This morning we visited a beautiful castle called Langeais the castle was inhabited during the middle ages and is equipped with various levels, a dungeon, and a beautiful garden. We were guided through the castle by and amazing tour guide who explained to us the detail and stories of the castle. After the tour we explored the garden where we saw beautiful flowers and were able to climb up wooden stairs to view the whole garden and castle from above. We then ate a picnic style lunch that our families had packed for us and got to try new French snacks! After our delicious lunches we took off for the goat farm. Here we learned all about the process of making goat milk and cheese. Our guide, an owner of the farm, showed us the different rooms in which each step of the process occurred. Not only did we see how the farm works, but we got to meet all the goats. There was about a hundred goats in this beautiful open land where they grazed the grass and we got to pet them. We were able to see goats of all different sizes and colors. Our guide let us sample a variety of goat products including their homemade yogurt, fresh cheese (which is like the texture of cottage cheese), a variety of different aged cheese and rosemary jam. Many of us also purchase the goat ice cream in numerous flavors. We then sadly departed the goat farm but are excited to see our correspondents again after a great day of adventure.
