We took a long walk with Leonardo da Vinci through France’s springtime, yesterday.
Da Vinci spent his last years as the guest of the French king — his rooms and some inventions are now on display at the Château du Clos Lucé near Amboise.
The kids with us, including Frank, loved pulling the rope, turning the crank, etc. on all the working invention models. A “helicopter” that can be rotated by a even a small visitor was the special favorite.
Now I have to get ready to take yet another train trip.
