I ran Rome

Yesterday Geoff and I caught the last flight out of Paris, into Rome. We booked on a low cost airline, one that demands all checked luggage a fee, however the carry on has no weight restriction, but one must be able to put it in the overhead bins without assistance. Were in line for boarding and there is this lady in front of us. I was intrigued by her because she looked hugely overweight but her legs were little, I was confused by her body type. Then I thought, "Hmmm, maybe she's pregnant at 50...could be." Then she got to the front of the line where the airline attendants refused to let her board because she was hiding another bag under her coat...she was ball-sy!
Today Geoff and I had a glorious breakfast at our hotel and then put on our running shoes. We ran through Rome, stopping when we felt like it. It was a beautiful way to see Rome. I literally love this place. Today has been the best day of my life and it's not even over!

Versailles yesterday, Rome tomorrow

Two days ago, the gang and I went to Chateau de Versailles and the next day Geoff and I went to the Louvre. Too much French history in too little time. It's bonkers thinking about real people in real castles doing real things, and then me walking through their bedroom 500 years later *WHAT*.

Chateau de Versailles

PS Did anyone else know that the Louvre was a castle that the Revolutionists turned into a museum. No one told me! The Louvre is giant and much too big to see in one day, let alone two. To truly appreciate the Louvre one needs a month pass and lots of hot coffee...but you would never feel confident in your hand steadiness to ever drink coffee in front of thousands of pieces of priceless art.
Today Geoff and I went on a morning run, it was tres romantic. Nemours is truly one of the most beautiful places in the morning. Today we ran down a country side canal with two horses munching on some grass on the left and a tug boat on the right hand side. I could see myself living here...minus the French...today I have managed to mess up every order. I have ordered two espresso's instead of a coffee with milk, I order three sandwiches instead of two, one with eggs on it...and a pastry which I didn't think even existed...someone help
