Versailles

Friday January 30th

Today was a good day. I had signed up, along with a bunch of others, to go to Versailles castle. Versailles is outside Paris, and we had to take a different train out there. We got up, got ready and had to be downstairs by 10 AM that morning. It only cost us 5 dollars (well euros)- for our train tickets to and from Versailles. We walked to the train station, about 7-10 minutes away. Once we got onto the train, which we had to run to, it was from there a 20 minute train ride to Versailles. We got off and walked about 5 minutes to the castle. It was contained in a gold gate, and it was HUGE! The castle was massive- we only walked a little bit through it and went into the back, and saw all of the grounds. Many of the rooms we walked through looked exactly the same, just in different colors. In the back, there was land as far as we couldn't even see anymore- It seemed like it went on forever.The palace was massive. It was really pretty to see, and I'm glad i went, but i thought i would have been more impressed with it.

After we left the palace, we went back onto the train and went back to campus. We stopped at Quick- which was a fast food place- in the train station on the way back. After we ate, we went back to our rooms, hung out, took a quick nap, and watched movies that Jen had brought with her.
