Back Home to Angers

While I worked Jake got to discover the city a bit and do some souvenir shopping. This fountain is just outside the foyer where I live. Angers is just as beautiful at night as it is during the daytime. We took a day trip to nearby Saumur, where we got private guided visits in English of both the Bouvet Ladubay caves and the Combier distillerie. We took back sparkling wine from the caves and some Combier triple-sec (since they were the ones who originally invented it). Because of the Loire river, the region has some pretty amazing local products. Spending the vacation with Jake was the best Christmas gift ever!
