Paris

Day 3
race day!!!!

there were THINGS that happened during that race, that I am not proud of, there was not enough water.... or bathrooms....... i have STORIES.... lets just say, i ended with only 1 sock, and i empathise with dumpster divers......
After the race, and race recovery, ( lots of water, powerade, and a really long HOT bath) Mom and I decided to go for a walk back to the eifel tower. On our way, we ran into Debbie and Russ, so fun!!!! Mom, and I toook lots of pictures at the concord, eifel tower and on the sein river tour.

Paris

Day 2
We went to Versailles.
 I started trying to describe all these photos, but i gave up about halfway through, there are simply too many!
but let me just tell you, i would have beheaded the king and queen living in this splendor if i couldn't feed my children.....

the flowers in the garden were amazing!


No that isn't that palace just the theatre.... Apparently Marie Antoinette enjoyed herself some thespian entertainment...
