Paris, Day 2

While I loved each day in Paris, our second day at Versailles was definitely my favorite. It is an absolutely incredible place and we had such a great time driving around in our little golf cart, listening to our narrator and the lovely classical music that played as we drove. It was such a great way to see the grounds that a French couple tried to steal our cart while we were walking through one of the gardens! We're not sure in what country that's acceptable but, thankfully, we had our key!

We also climbed the Eiffel Tower that evening when we went back to the city. We thought we were in line for the elevators but, we quickly found ourselves climbing the 330 stairs to the first platform. It was here I realized that I have a little issue with heights...it was very disconcerting to see the ground and wonder...what if there was an earthquake!?! I held on to the handrails firmly all the way up.

We finished the day with a delicious dinner at a cafe near our hotel. I had the quiche, Ashley had the mussels, and we ordered the "cream cheese and strawberry sauce" for dessert. Surely, we thought, this would be like cheese cake...and then we thought, wouldn't it be funny if it were a block of cream cheese with jam on top? Alas, it was closer to the latter...a cup of really creamy cream cheese with a strawberry sauce on top. Funny and delicious all together. :-)

Enjoy some of our day 2 pics! Tomorrow, Day 3...the churches! (It was Sunday after all!)

P.S. A disclaimer about our hair...none of our usual hair tools worked in France. We had to rely on a vacuum-cleaner type hair dryer that wasn't worth its weight. I'm going to see what Photoshop can do to clean us up before I put these all in a scrapbook! Just know that we are not at the top of our game!
