Paris - Day 3

Day three of our Paris adventure was spent almost entirely at Versailles. It was probably my favorite stop in Paris, though I was disappointed with the gardens. Not that the gardens weren't beautiful, but there actually wasn't a lot blooming. There were massive areas that looked like they had been cleared for annuals to go in, but they weren't in yet.

The hedge "walls' reminded me of Harry Potter and the Tri-Wizard tournament!

One little corner of the gardens that we found in bloom. I could have stayed here for hours (if I had a good book and it wasn't raining)!

The one lonely fountain we found running:

It seems I am fascinated with the ceilings:

Hannah & I in the (very busy) hall of mirrors! It was almost impossible to get this shot, because people kept walking in front of Jeremy!

My self-portrait from the hall of mirrors! Note that I was trying to listen to the audio guide (not my cell) while I was taking the picture!

This cute guy let me take his picture:

This cool little dude was on the wall:

And the very sparkly gates at the entry (along with the horrible grey sky in the background):
