House Hunting: Versailles Edition

Being a student at a UK university is the shit! All you gotta do is put on a fake English accent, whip out your student card, and tell them you forgot your passport at home. Free entrance into the Louvre: Check. Free entrance into Versailles: Check. Works every time.

If I had on word to describe Versailles, it would be GOLD. From the gate that greets you at the entrance to the Egyptian statues inside to the crown molding throughout, this place is Blinged out.

If I had another word to describe Versailles, it would be CONQUERED! By the peasants during Henry XIV's reign and by Steve the 1st in 2011. As some of you may know, my parents are thinking about moving and have threatened to do so without leaving a forwarding address. Which means I was in the market for a new house, and why not a palace...I deserve it. Luckily, security is shotty at best in the Chateau...apparently they stopped preparing for invasions after the whole King thing sort of died off. Suckahs! I'm moving in soon and you all will be invited to the Chateau for a little late summer house warming in the gardens. nbd.

Food was pretty good today. Did the whole French Onion soup thing without consideration for my travel mate, Courtney. Didn't really think about the whole breath situation afterwards. Another Croque Madame for lunch, and some french cookies from a bakery. I'm not sure if we just pick really good restaurants, or if all French food really is amazing!

Weather.com predicts rain for tomorrow, so we left the museums for tomorrow. With any luck, I'll get to see some legit Picasso (Picasso Museum) and Van Gogh (L'Osprey) before the day is over.
