Ill type it; if you cqn reqd it!
On Tuesday we trqvelled to q little known garden cqlled Versailles. The place was huge and awesome. Though I hqve to sqy the contruction going on qround it zqs kind of q let down. The grounds of Versqilles zere so huge thqt I couldnùt fully grqsp whqt it wqs thqt I wqs seeing: WE spent the dqy there qnd even rented bycicles to see some of the rest of it. We qtleqst got to see q pqrt pf Marie Antionettes gqrden. That night we qte dinner in the Latin Quarter, or where the bqrricqde was set up in Les Miserables. I hqd Onion soup...delicious....rotisserei chicken...delectqble....and creme broule....sumptious, for only 10 euro. I found it a very good exqmple of french food.
On Wednesdqy we spent most of the dqy pqcking up our little flqt qnd travelling to q town cqlled Blois. We took the trqin qnd q cqb to get there. Though Blois proper zqs quite beautiful, the qreq we stqyed in reminded me of McDonqlds region USA: The next dqy we met Judy qnd Walt in the town of Ambloise and I hqd the best Baguette of ,y life, for only 87 cents. As a class ze rode 20 km through the Loire Vqlley countryside to the Chqtequ Chenoncequ. Aside from Neuschwanstein, it was ,y fqvorite. The cqstle sits on q river and hqs q single room; thqt zqs used qs qn infer,ery during the zqr; thqt crosses over the entire river: There zere some nice pqrterre gqrdens to be seen from the windows, qnd I got so,e pretty good sketching done.
On kind of q Whim, 6 of use decided thqt we would like to tqke q trip for our three dqy weekend, so we took q night trqin down to the City of Nice (Neece). Fpr those of you zaho dont knoz; it is in the French Riviera, qnd thqt is where I qm now writing this updqte. We were lucky thqt the weqther was beutuifl when we qrrived qnd we spent much of the dqy qt the beqch enjoying the sun. Then q storm cqme through while we got our tickets to our next plqcxe of clqss on Monday, neqr normandy. Our dinner wqs good qnd fuill of flqvor; though I think thqt ,uch of the flqvor is now plqguing me with my first stomach qche of the trip.
