Day Twenty: Let them Eat Cake

5/18/2014

Today I spent the day in the most beautiful place on earth, Today I went to the Palace of Versailles. You learn all about how extravagant it is in history classes. It is nothing compared to actually stepping foot in the Palace. It was breathtaking and indescribable. I'm still trying to process it. The rooms were magnificent. Oh the hall of mirrors was to die for. I just wanted to sit there and never leave. I cannot imagine what it would have been like to be in the french court with Louis and Marie. Oh what I wouldn't do for a time machine! It would just be such a neat experience to jump back in time and visit what it would have been like then. I would have loved to go to a ball at Versailles.
Ugh, and the gardens were just mind-blowing! It was huge! We spent most of the day there and still did not hit everything that there was to see in Versailles. This is just another reason I need to come back! I need to experience all of Versailles and I wasn't able to do that today. I will be back one day, hopefully many times!
So Paris is known as the city of love and I got to see another Love filled tourist attraction. The wall of Love near the Sacre Coeur. It was fun to see "I love You" in so many different Languages. The Sacre Coeur was magnificent as well! I think the Mosaic on the inside was my favorite out of all the cathedrals we've seen. And the view from outside the Cathedral is breathtaking! I have fallen madly in love with this City! I am so sad tomorrow is our last day here and in Europe. I wish I could stop time! I don't want to leave!
