Saturday morning was marked with exhaustion after our club the previous night. We got up early to go to Versailles and spend an hour on the train. It was beautiful when we got there. I think it was the first day of sun too. They had a memorial to mark the lives lost in the World Wars and then the palace was breathtaking. It literally was made out of gold entirely. Everything inside was so cool. There was the king's chambers and queen's too. The queen had a study, which I'm sure she did not use. My favorite part was the hall of mirrors, however. I loved the way it reflected the light and everything. We unfortunately did not go to the gardens because everyone was so tired. Looking back now, I wish I had done so.
We ended up heading back on the train, but Jill, Katie, and I headed back to Montmartre instead to go shopping. It was awesome. Very successful with 2 dresses and a jacket. I also got a new shirt. I loved looking in the shops and little boutiques. We did get lost, however, and couldn't find our way back to the metro. This led us to another area where there were basically flea markets and linens being sold. Very interesting. Finally, I ended up asking someone in French where the metro was. I managed to understand the directions enough to get us there. All in all, a day well done.
