Versaille was cool yesterday, but we must have walked 20 miles all together. Versaille is the Palace that Louis the X!V decorated and everything is covered in gold. All in all I like the garden the most. It stretches as far as the eye can see. There was even a village in the back that was built for Marie antoinette to play in. Not a small play sized village a full sized two floor thatched roof village with fifteen buildings a lake a windmill, a water wheel and animals. Its insane.
Something funny happened to me while waiting for Jeannie by the bathrooms at Versaille. I was sitting on a bench when a little girl who must have been about four years old looks at me for a long time, like trying to figure something out. After a few seconds her eyes go up in surprise and she leans over to her dad and whispers in a voice of discovery. "Papa, un homme-lupe". (dad, a were-wolf). I thought that was kind of funny. I have been coming accross a lot of that as there are not many hispanics here at all, although there are many more people of color than I remember. Especially Asians which are about as many as African. Its kind of surprising. It makes Paris seem less foreign, and that's good.
Highlights so far the food. Everything in everyplace we have gone to has been good, if not great. Its surprising, and sounds cliche but its true. The strawberries are unreal, plus we had sheeps milk cheese. mmmm.
Today we might go to the Catacombs. We might not, it depends. The catacombs is basically a big underground cemetary, that the resistance used as a HQ during WW2. Six million corpses buried by type of bone not person. All the skulls together, femurs...etc. The only light in the whole place is from the flashlight you bring yourself. I'll tell you if we go.
