Flag of France Versailles, Île-de-France, France
Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Made it out to Versailles again yesterday, this time for the palace tour. It was one of my last few ticks on my list of things to do: today, the Catacombs of Paris. Tomorrow, Paris plage (and maybe the ice bar after, says Jon).

Beauuuuutiful day. More and more wish I could be a tour guide somewhere (think it'd be an incredible amount of fun meeting people and talking about cool/interesting places). Wish there was something historic in Orlando... (did I get a laugh out of you? ;)

Enjoy the pictures
