I am SO behind so here is the quickie summary:I spent Friday morning going to Versaille. it is in the top 100 world places to visit by a famous travel writer and so I thought i should go. to emphasize how huge this place is (palace and gardens) let me just say that the circumpherence of Versaille is the same as the width of Paris.
It was quite breathtaking, in a literal sense. I had never gasped at a view before but... well, this was breathtaking.
I saw the general gardens, then the palace, then Marie Antoinette's fake country-side estate. WELL worth th 20 Euros
PALACEI felt like I was going to puke from all the opulence.
the people of france must have suffered quite a lot for Louis XIV to have lived for him. I hope he enjoyed himself!!
MARIE - ANTOINETTEHer estate felt kind of like if Walt Disney decided to make an "18th century french-countryside" section of disney world. It was weird, but amazing. And I was blessed with amazing weather. god loves me.
I then met up in Paris with Sam to see the Morais area for a little bit... kind of Old Skool paris.
We walked by the Notre Dame on one of
the Seine islands and then went for drinks of champaigne near our hotel. a very french day, only in the best way!
Lastly, we decided to meet up with Sam's friends from texas to drink a bottel of wine under the Eiffel Tower. I have never seen so many mosquitos in my life... not actual mosquitoes, but annoying men trying to press glow-lighted fake Eiffels for only 1 Euro in our hands. Anyway, it was quite enjoyable :)
