Day 19 (Friday, June 5, 2009): A Day at Versailles

When we travel the roads of France, sometimes stressful situations. Michel, who realizes that the needle is in the red essence, is precisely one of those situations. Panic then blew into the minivan (you talk to the princess). At this time Gilbert and Luce in the other minivan saw the princess waving from his window so exuberant, trying to understand it was time to refuel. Relief appeared on the faces when seen on a billboard the presence of a gas station. Ho! She was still 25 Km All ends well, they had enough fuel. We were in the direction of Versailles. So begin the chase.
Versailles, a city of dreams, vestiges of a colorful era where princesses and knights feasted at the court of kings. The former home of Marie Antoinette will be blown away our youth. Michel, who had seen other, remained speechless before the gilded arabesque which were restored in recent years. So we crossed the hall of mirrors, the rooms of the Queen and many other parts more impressive than the other.
Taking the paths of the gardens, our adventurers were blasted by the essence and beauty of the ancient gardens of Versailles. We walked a labyrinth of greenery and flowers where we watched hundreds of statues. And what about the fountains that dotted the lakes area and who worshiped in a big way, to Poseidon the God of ancient Greece. It is interesting to note the influence of Graeco-Roman sculptors in the garden of Versailles, because we had the honor of being welcomed by the Pantheon in full force. We will stop this description of Versailles in order to feel adequately all the emotions that the text you has surely passed. So we took the road to the City of Light, "Paris". It goes without saying that seeing the Eiffel Tower, cries of excitement reverberated in both cars. It was also at this time that we had to abandon our loyal coaches. Harnessed our bags, we faced a well less than sumptuous Versailles, the Paris Metro.

After a few minutes, Clutch Lamontagne managed to move without help from Carmen, to lead us to the hostel, the D'Artagnan. It was with surprise that students will find the techniques of "parallel parking" special cousins Parisians. So it was after an emotional day that the group could finally relax, because now they were in Paris, the city where the real adventure would begin.

Gilbert, Erika, Emily, with the full collaboration of the "princess".
