Versailles

What a GREAT DAY!! And it's only 2:30 pm :)

We went to Versailles really early in the morning, playing Armin van Buren all the way there in the car, got stuff for a picnic in the garden, gas, all set...

We decided to just go to the gardens today and not inside because the line was insane (100m long line of roaring tourists was just not worth it) so we just strolled through the gardens: AMAZING. They're apparently closed on the winter so I had to see it now during summer, I can come back in the winter and shelter in the castle interiors, which I'm sure are going to be just or even more beautiful.

Overall, Versailles is just like over-the-top crazy luxuriously beautiful, but of course Marie Antoinette fucking lived there, what else can you expect...! It was so funny, the have like hidden stereos playing this 18th century music with violins, and you're just strolling through the flowers and statues pffff ridiculous but of course very enjoyable. You actually feel like one of the madames from the court (not really, but you wish just a little bit... I mean even though I hate the Versailles pretension and love that the Revolution got rid of this royal life bullsh*t, you can't avoid feeling like you would have loved to be part of the court life in this castle! C'mon!)

We rented a boat and paddled through the lake, we kinda sucked but then got the hang of it; and for this, my former training as an official member of the UBC AIRPIGS longboat team really helped ;)

turururururururu......... AIR PINGS, OINK!!!!!!

(Just remembering a really fun night at The Pit after the day of the longboat for my fellow dear Vancouverites!)

We then came back and decided to have our picninc at Livia's house's garden which is super cute: salad, rice, cheese, pain grilles and vin rose... mmm.

Overall, great day, now I'm happy use I have an afternoon off tourist sightseeing and I can chill and post in my supercoolawesome new blog, or as Livia says posh girls in London say, FANTA-BULOUS new blog (are you kidding fo real?)

Stay tuned, pictures soon to be uploaded!
