marie a's home

looks just like another disneyland (but intensely gold-plated) with the tour buses and cars out front
the chateau (俗夠有力)

mirror mirror on the wall
the chapel

Apollo's fountain
Latona's fountain

here comes the best part. eileen's goal of the day: RENT A BOAT! we were the only two girls crazy enough to row in the cold. we tried to attack the ducks and swans- didn't really work out that well because we were too slow. it was definitely the highlight of the day as versailles isn't as glamourous as it seems. its been remodeled way too many times and still super crowded.
our boat!
hard at work
view from the middle of the lake. it took us a while to actually turn the boat&get these photos.

new friends we met on the way back: mouton!
