Jack, Ruby, Marcos, Andre’, Claudia, and myself went to Versailles together on what was, for most of us, our last day in Paris. Arriving at the gates we were excited to get inside and see the beauty of the place, especially the hall of mirrors, but it would not be. It was a Monday and in France a Monday is like a Sunday in the U.S. or at least what a Sunday used to be like. Places shut down for a little breather each week. Disappointed, but undaunted we toured around the gardens and had a nice little picnic by one of the rowing pools. Although we didn’t get to go inside it was still pretty interesting to see the place to imagine the aristocrats who had walked these grounds before us.
