Our Trip to Versailles






Well here's to another day. It's about 4:00 for us and we just got back from Versailles. Nope, the trains weren't on strike. Yeah! This town is outside of Paris and has the largest Chateau (castle) in France. Well it's. true. The train got into town and hordes of people got off. I couldn't believe the amount of people heading to the castle. It was like we were at the state fair trying to get around people and standing in line forever. This place was gigantic. It was a little overwhelming and then on top of it too crowded. So, we hurried through the rooms of the place and wanted to get outside. Once we got there it was beautiful. The gardens were so immaculate. We wandered around and saw lots of fountains and paths that could lead you to so many secret hiding places. We were there for about 4 hours. Now we are in Paris and had yet another crepe. They are so delicious! We think we have found the best stand that sells them in Paris. We've been there twice. ( : There are so many desserts we want to try but so few meals.

The weather has been pretty good for us so far. We've had a couple of days with rain but it's gotten a lot better. It's about 75 degrees out right now. This is probably the hottest day yet. On our last day we are going to head up to Giverny. It's a little day trip outside of Paris.

Well I guess we are off. Hope everyone is doing well.
See ya in a couple of days.
