today we hopped on the 10:23 train for versailles, when we got there we had to find the palace, which was about a 10 minute walk from the train station... we saw the golden gates and jumped in line... we were in line for 3 hours. so long. it was a perfectly clear and sunny day, there were no clouds to be seen, so needless to say, we're a little sunburnt. versailles was gorgeous, gold, so much gold, and there were beautiful paintings and statues everywhere. there were also rude, annoying, terrifying tourists everywhere, but i guess that is to be expected... after going through the palace, caitlin and i set off to explore the gardens, we walked to the village that marie antoinette had built, which was quite a walk from the palace, but it's still within the gardens, which tells you how huge the gardens are... we took the 7:30 train back to paris, and i'm exhausted... more tomorrow..
love love
