VERSAILLES!!!

Christy and I decided that we are possibly the worst students ever. We have yet to even do the cool things in Paris, much less travel to other places. So. Were having Adventure Fridays. Starting this week.

First trip: Versailles! It is only a 30 min or less ride on the RER C and we got in FREE for being students! I wish places in the US were more student friendly. We get in everywhere for free here!!


ooooohhh. aaaahhhh.


You guys. I took 239 pictures. This is getting a little out of hand. 


check out all that bling!


There were people EVERYWHERE. Kind of annoying. We didn't stay in the actual palace for very long.


Hall of Mirrors


prettyy


were so cool.


The gardens were SO pretty though. I def want to go back in the spring when flowers will be out. I'd probably have taken 500 pictures if there were flowers! You guys know my feelings about flowers!


love it!


We also walked over to the Petit Trianon (Marie Antionettes house) and the Grand Trianon (the King's more "private" palace).  There were way less people over there so it was kind of nice.

back up to the palace.


Overall, pretty solid trip and I'm glad we went! 

That night we met up with some friends and went to a club, on a boat, on the Seine. So. Cool.


all of us :)


Last night (Saturday), we went to this Canadian bar, called The Moose. We wanted to watch the GT/Clemson game because we heard they play American football there! Our game was over by the time we got there (thank goodness.. probably didn't want to watch that anyways..) but they had LSU/Auburn. It was exciting to watch football! Typical Americans!

In other news, I got to talk to my wonderful little brother! He finally got a skype.. I haven't talked to him since I left the country! And my amazing parents are coming next weekend so I'm pretty excited to see them!!!

Life is good :)
