A Long Day and a Glorious Palace


Versailles Palace - a view from the "backyard"

The most incredible backyard ever

And the driveway...

CheyAnn is the little black and white speck, just to add some perspective...

Beautiful picture, and nice garden...



I am finding a recurring theme of nightly exhaustion! It’s a little after nine, and I can barely keep my eyes open. We checked out early this morning, threw down with a stubborn hotel chick about dinner (as I was expecting), and caught a train from Amsterdam. Transfer in Paris, and we’re here in beautiful, quaint, Versailles, home of the greatest palace in Europe.
We arrived pretty late, so we just poked around the magnificent gardens for a bit. You hear that it is the most incredible palace ever, but even then we were still blown away by the grandeur of it. Tomorrow, we will tour inside of the palace, take a million pictures, and head back into Paris. Our trip is going by so wonderfully—we’ve totally lost track of time, which is the best feeling.
As for me right now, I’ll be fast asleep before the sun goes down, and knocking on King Louis’ front gates bright and early tomorrow morning.
