Just got back from our vacation in the Loire. We had a great time, saw 9 (?) castles (I think 10 if you include the one we stayed at, which is now a hotel) and took many, many, many pictures. It's going to take me some time to sort through all the pictures, so they will have to come in installments over the next few weeks. In the meantime,
here is a recent article from the NY Times about Luxembourg. Thanks, Beth, for forwarding!
