Versailles

Sunday, Hank and I headed for the palace of Versailles. It was hot. HOT!!!! The palace was home to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. I enjoyed all of the paintings in the palace, but it was so crowded and hot in there. I think I was dehydrated and got kind of grumpy. Poor Hank. We walked around the gardens and finally found a shady spot under some trees and relaxed for a while. That part I really enjoyed.

Overall, I really enjoyed Paris. It's a beautiful city and there are so many things to do and see. We never made it to Napoleons tomb or Château de Malmaison or the catacombs. You definitely need more than 4 days. I could have done without the heat and the prices though. Paris is very expensive city (12 sprite!). We left Paris on Monday morning and headed back to Nottingham. As we were leaving the clouds turned gray and it started to rain. Of course. :) Just another reason to go back...not in summer!
