... spend the day in the Sun while its Raining
So the Palace of Versailles is the palace of the Sun King hence I spent the day in the sun while it was raining... cool yet still dreary! The pictures are HERE , they also include pictures of the obelisk in the Place de la Concorde. Versailles is amazing and we also went around the Gardens which were amazing and then we went to the Grand Trianon which was the royal family's vacation house, which is still larger than the Zeta House, and then we went to the Petite Trianon which was Marie Antoinette's personal house, which is still bigger than the Zeta House. everything was beautiful and, excuse this vomit worthy sentence, the presence of history was tangible. The Sun King's residence was an awe inspiring sight and I do not think I could ever get tired of seeing it, what I could get tired of seeing is the horde of Asian tourist in the same outfit wearing SARS masks and pushing you to get a picture in which they rock the peace sign...
