Versailles, Paris day 4

The best and worst sights, smells, and sounds of Paris today:
1. Best thing I saw for sure VERSAILLES
2. Worst thing I saw was a mom making a child pee in public

1. Best thing I smelled was for sure the fresh crepes
2. Worst smell, hands down the urine in the metro .... not outside the metro, actually on the train. I almost lost my lunch

1. Best sound of today was the police car sirens hee hee I love that
2. Worst sound today. The 5th time, the announcer told us over the loudspeaker that the train was canceled

✔ I win again for a most unique person. Eric could not find anyone ....seriously???

This morning Eric and I continued our journey, going to Versailles. I thought about my girls Kayla, Kaitlyn, and Haleigh today. Eric said he had so much fun with them a few years ago when he took them to Versailles, and Kaitlyn told me to think of her while I was there. I have to admit it was the most beautiful place I have ever been... you were right, girls; I ♥ Versailles.

I found this bookstore just down the street from our Hotel; they carry old, new, and antique books; it reminded me of Kayla. She has always loved books, old and new ❤


I fell asleep on the train ride to Versailles; thanks, Eric.♡


This is my favorite thing to eat; I love fresh fruits.


Versailles is the summer home for Royal Families. It is breathtaking and beautiful.


Like a lady, she is covering herself and maybe even a little shy ...... then next, we have the men, a different story.


I hate that some of these pictures are sideways, but I will have to fix them when I get home to a different program... sorry.
Ok, so I thought this was funny, the statues of men here are always naked, and the men look like they are so proud of themselves and confident with who they are...

In rooms of Art, there are rooms called the gallery rooms. Each room is a different color, and the walls are covered with toiled velvet fabric; the fabric itself is beautiful, but not sure I want it on my walls.




In Versailles, everything seems to be lined in GOLD.



This is a massive fireplace in one of the main ballrooms.


King Louis the XIV's bed, I told Eric if this was my mansion, I would have a much nicer main bedroom, and the bed would be a lot bigger than this little baby one. ♚


Marie Antoinette's room was nicer than her husband, King Louis VIV. ♔

The walls in this room are all made out of marble.





I do not eat at McDonald's, I remember buying my children Happy Meals when they were little and allowing them to play in the fun area with their friends, but since then, I can probably count how many times I have eaten at McDonald's. This Mcdonald's close to Versailles was incredibly decorated, very sheik and modern nicer than many restaurants I've been in, and they had a bakery with all these yummy-looking pastries.
