Mom, I have some new landscaping ideas

Today we got to visit a beautiful Château in the city of Angers today with some of the prettiest gardens! (I'll upload pictures later, but right now it's too late and I'm too tired to fight with my phone...). We also got to see this incredibly huge and useless tapestry that depicted the apocalypse. It was 7 meters wide and 150 meters long. Divided into 6 sections, each section took two years to make. It's way too big to be displayed in a cathedral and it's too expensive for anyone to own, due to all the labor that went into it, unless you were a Prince because then you would buy it purely to show that he had enough money to buy it. The tapestry was gorgeous and it was amazing to see that humans could make something as fine as it by hand.

For the rest of the afternoon, we walked around the city, visited the cathedral of Angers, and then walked around a museum that used to be a medieval hospital (?). To be completely honest, I zoned out while the professor was explaining what the museum was, but I do know that it was attached to the cloister of an abbey. And currently, there are different tapestries depicting the end of human kind that were made in the '60s.

This evening, I was planning on going to bed early and just taking it easy all night, but instead I found out about a dance performance happening in the old city. So we met up with some of our French friends and we watched African, modern, tango, and tap dancing. It was so interesting because it was so casual and informal whereas in America, even novice performances are treated like professional productions. It was also cool because not everyone was good at the dancing - one of the African dances looked more like a Zumba-style, follow-the-leader type that a rehearsed dance. But it was cool to just sit back and watch what the locals can do! Also all the French women are very chic and literally all of them can pull off boyfriend jeans which is incredible. We hung out with our friends for a little while after the show, and then we headed back because I need to pack tonight! Tomorrow, I leave for the weekend for Milan and the World's Fair!! I am so excited I can barely contain it!
