Château de Chambord

In the Fall of 2015, we took a road trip to Western France (mainly Brittany). On the way there, we stopped at Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley. Quite an impressive place!

Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria, Germany

Our last stop on the way home last Spring was Neuschwanstein Castle. This is another castle built by crazy King Ludwig II. It served as the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle. Unfortunately, the tickets were all sold out, so we only saw the outside.
