Versailles

The last time I was here, I had a winter jacket on

Yoga in the park

Thats all she wrote
Yesterday...what a day. We went to lunch at the cantine and told Phillip (the cook) our plans...off to Versaille for the day. So he offered to drive us as far as Melun where we could catch a direct train to Paris. So we got in the truck with Phillip, only for him to tell us that in the afternoon, after he's done cooking he goes to his second job, LUMBERJACK. In the back of his giant truck were 2 dozen felled trees. Phillip siezes to astound me. Today we had bacon wrapped veal, can you believe that guy? Anyway fast forward to Versaille. We rented a row boat...in the Versailles gardens, it was hilarious. I reclined in the front for the vast majority of the row only to volunteer to row last...however I forgot that means legitimately rowing the boat back to a specified docking spot...BLAST! Afterwards we found a grassy spot, laid out our blanket, put some music on and just chilled all afternoon. And by all afternoon I mean until 8 when we decided to leave. We moosied on to McDonalds for a quick bite to eat and made our way back to Paris center to catch a train back to Nemours...found out we missed the last train by 6 minutes...BLAST TIMES TWO. So we had to wait for an hour, caught a train to Melun and then took a bus to Nemours. We arrived back in Nemours at 12:30 and I got up at 7:30 to teach today, while the rest of the girls got to enjoy a well needed sleep-in. Sigh, who needs sleep?

  1. Spring comes to France first it would seem, just like fashion.
