day 29.


VERSAILLES.

It was another early morning! First... Darwin and Sausie (nicknames) told us we should probably pack some lunches before we head to Versailles because it was pretty pricey over there. So we ran downstairs, quickly ate breakfast and I ran off to the closest bakery for some sandwiches for lunch. The one across the street wasn't even open yet so I ran to the next one a little further away. After rushing to get to our meeting spot on time, we headed to the train. When I woke up that morning, I felt like something was going to go wrong, I just knew it! And to my luck the girls left me in charge of carrying our lunch... but sadly I left those delicious looking sandwiches on the train!! Whoops! I felt horrible and we thought we were going to starve for the rest of the day, but luckily our nice friends shared some of their lunches with us :)


Here I am, standing at the golden gates of Versailles!

this is the backside of the main palace of Versailles


while waiting for our tickets to get in, everyone was so excited and a little hyper so this is what we did...


nice legs Changmok ;)

the gardens we absolutely breathtaking!


as you can tell, I'm a little obsessed with doors and doorknobs

a cool tree there, it reminds me of cotton candy




there were so many cute cottages there!

broken staircase







we were jumping and sliding all over the place on these floors

so Darwin and I decided to creep around the floor as well

this was the #1 tourist of the day

one of my absolute FAVORITE rooms I've seen! mainly because of the cheetah print carpet and peachy sofa

all about the detail :)




the famous hall of mirrors :)


it was amazingly gorgeous in there! but I wish there weren't so many people, it was crazy in there!!


this gorgeous couple were taking wedding photos with a huge camera crew

I was so excited to be there!!

oh hey there! ps check out that AMAZING detail work!!




some of the flooring outside. so cool!


On the way home, we were sketching random things and people.. then I creeped a sketch of this man and gave it to him... too bad the flash washed out the pic, but it was a nice cap to our Versailles trip. Afterwards we were starving!! So we decided to try out this burger place called Kong (Darwin suggested it to us) he said it was "kind of by the Pompidou and by some water" so we decided to venture out and find it. Good thing we had Darwin's horrible details of it's where-abouts, we searched high and low for that dang place and nobody knew where it was! As we walked further and further, everyone started getting crankier and crankier. We ended up walking miles away from the metro and found ourselves in some random ghetto china town type area. So we finally just gave up, went to a little market and bought some chocolate to calm ourselves down. It was like an instant happy pill! The moment a little chocolate touched our tounges we were pretty much good to go for another 5 mile walk! Once we finally made it home, we stopped at this cute little pizza place and ate some very interesting pizza with egg on it and random other stuff. It was a good experience though :)
