I slept in a little later this morning. Lots of walking yesterday. We went to Ste-Chapelle and had a great tour by Vicki. She was a great actress and gave great dramato the stories she was telling.Then we did the Concierrage next door which was a prison and was where Marie-Antoinette was held. Next we headed to Fontainebleau after we finished our "sausage" and coke -turned out to be a hot dog and a ¤ 6.10 coke. I'd recommend against Les Deux Palais-Brasserie if you have any taste and/or budget. On the way to the Metro stop we happened upon a bird
"flea market". There were lots of different kinds of birds including turkey
and roosters
. Plus rabbits, guinea pigs and chincihillas. Lots of cages and feed. Finally we headed to Versailles. Nice double-decker train ride along the river
and suburbs. Have I mentioned Elaine's collecting found buttons. She's up to two. Then we gave Ariah a call. 7:15 am her time. Woke her up. She didn't have much to say. Toured Versailles,
found the ¤. .40-a-pee toilet, and took a tram ride through the gardens.
At Bouillon Recine (where we are having dinner) I bought the plate I was eating from
for my first souvenir.
