Versailles

Lately I've been coming back to my obsession with all things French, but most especially, with Versailles and Marie Antoinette.

hall of mirrors, source

when I went, I got tons of pictures from the hall of mirrors. to this day I almost want to cry over the fact that all those pictures are lost forever.

I need to go back one day and spend more time there, and get tons and tons photos.  The place is truely magical.

The only"proof" I have of ever being at Versailles. You can't really see me at all, but I'm behind the girl in green.
I stole this picture from my friend Jacquie who was also on the trip.
