Versaille

The coolest (and most simple) corridor in the Palace. I loved the plain stone and ample light
A boat ride on the Grand Canal. Using the oars is harder than it looks!
The best part of the Palace (Mindy was mad at me for thinking this) was the absolutely brilliant and simple treatment of the restoration of the hall of mirrors. They are working on half of the hall at a time and the scaffold structure is completely hidden behind temporary walls with a tunnel passing through the center. The wall facing the hall was covered with mirrors, reflecting the open section and giving the illusion of a complete room. I love it! And the black tunnel and white chandeliers were breathtaking!

Looks like it was a great time...almost as much fun as a Mocha Joe show. :)
