Not every American girl can say they have walked where princesses walked. Imagining myself as a lighthearted royal lady, I tiptoed through the marble archways waving to my subjects far below the castle and beyond the moat. I even took a picture of myself waving below from the castle's 6th story! But the more I pranced through the castle of Chambord, the more I was surprised to find no elaborate rugs, carefully carved wardrobes, or even any traces of life. The only scraps of any existence were the few bed chambers and small horse stable in the courtyard. Disappointed as I first was when I came to the castle of Chambord, I realized that it doesn't take the fanciest of decorations and finest of jewels to make a princess. All it takes is the right mindset, a little imagination, and maybe a tiara souvenir from the giftshop.-Cissi Denton
