I can't believe that it's nearly time to leave!! I think this is my favorite city on the whole trip. Could easily have spent the whole 16 days here, and still not seen it all.
We went up to the Castle today (which is really a palace, a couple of gorgeous churches (cathedrals??) and a little village. Very impressive!! Many cobblestone streets (hard on the feet) many different styles of architecture (hard on the brain) and many little shops (hard on the pocketbook).
Walked down innumerable steps, to get to St. Charles bridge. This bridge is home to 30-ish statues, and is flanked by huge stone arches/gates. Very impressive. Very crowded, very much under re-construction. Still lovely, and giving wonderful views of the city.
Tonight, we're going to hit the hay early: we have to leave the hotel at 7 am tomorrow, so up at 5:30 (that's really up at 11:30 pm Thurs night at home), and don't get in till 10:30 pm home time (which will feel like 5:30 am Saturday this time). It's all very confusing to me, and sounds like an awfully long trip, any way you look at it!!
See you all soon. J
