Cool outside courtyard, look at the awesome floor and marble pillars. I love how the floor pattern draws you to the other end.

Marie Antoinette's private house

Today was an interesting day. Our tour guide Pierre came and picked us up at the hotel. He is is old, smelly, perverted, dramatic man. He treated us like we were in kindergarten. It was funny at first, but as the day wore on it started try on my nerves. He would always say,"Ladies, prepare yourselves!" He was really pushy and made us push our way to the front of every room. He got in a few arguments with other tour guides and ushers. Versailles was so huge, I think it would take a day just to walk the house. The grounds are massive. The gardens were a little disappointing, but of course we only saw a few. Only a couple of the fountains were on. I really enjoyed Marie Antoinette's private apartments and further on were the grounds were only her ladies went. It was more wild and not so formal and the buildings were in a completely different style. I loved it. Tons of walking, a little rainy, but all in all, a pretty good day.
