Our girls' first real castle and first European friends

Every little girl hears about castles, whether they are into it or not.  So to get to go to a real one is pretty cool.  Matt picked out this one for our little girls in Carcassonne, France.  Amazingly, although we had no reservations, we ended up at a really cool one room bed and breakfast overlooking this UNESCO World Heritage site. It was right in the middle of a vineyard so Matt was happy too!  
But by this point, castle or no castle, the kids were ready to meet some real kids! 
So we were blessed to meet these lovely British Girls, Lauren and Anna, who became fast friends after I struck up a conversation with their family in a museum and they hiked about a mile to the top of our castle overlook!
  
They proved their true Bristish blood by being so brave,
swimming with my girls in this VERY cold pool. 

 The next day their family made the hike again for Lauren's birthday
and shared  the most delicious birthday cake ever!!


The parents had a nice visit too!! 


Final Travel TIP for Today: It is much more fun to tour a cathedral /church
with someone else's' kids rather than your own!

Thankfully all four of them had a nice time in this lovely one!
