France Day 4 - Tours

We left Beaune bright and early and went to wait until the local supermarket opened. The chain of supermarkets here in called Casino, and it's more or less like a Loblaws or Metro. We bought sliced bread, sliced cheese and slices turkey so that we could eat in the car. 



We drove all morning until we reached the city of Tours. It was overcast in the morning but the sun started to come out just when we reached Tours, and it got pretty warm out. We stopped at the tourism office to get maps, and crossed to the large train station to look for public washrooms. The interior was being renovated so there was scaffolding everywhere, and not much to take pictures of. The washrooms were guarded by a severe looking French lady, charging us 50 cents for toilets and 20 cents for urinals (although I'm not sure how that could be controlled). Outside the train station, there was a little park with a fountain that looked like water spraying over the back of a metal whale, surrounded by pretty pink flowering trees.

yay, flowers <3

If you look carefully, it appears to be
a bunch of Snitches. Or that thing
from D. Gray Man
