Paris continued…

I really have sooooo many pictures of Paris. I can’t reiterate how cool Paris is. For example, this church:

Some church in Paris

I have no idea what it is… probably just ’some church’. Just gorgeous though, isn’t it?

So on Sunday, we wanted to go see Versaille. This is a castle on the outside of Paris. We took the metro out there which was a pleasant trip. This Italian women helped us find our way. I’m tellin’ ya - there are really nice folks everywhere. We got off the metro into the little town… were walking down the street and I asked Simone, “Well, where now, do we take another bus?” As I said this and turned to look at her and BAM! There it was.

Now this was a cool place!! The castle was SO huge and the gardens in the back…. MAN! I really cannot imagine actually having been there in the times when it was occupied. Amazing.

And these are just a very few of the many many pictures I got. Marie Anoinnette once lived here and she had her own special ‘house’ in the back of the garden. I was expecting a little house… but no… it was like a whole other plantation (do they use that word in Europe? I don’t think so). Anyway, this was a beautiful place too - so serene and peaceful.

We were there until sunset… soooooo pretty!

Still more to come! Stay tuned - please! :)
