Paris

June 23

(18::00)) Last night was an interesting night. The bed in our room is a normal twin size bed that we are both sharing. Luckily we are not shy about cuddling I guess. Ben slept from 8 pm to 8 am and I’m not sure if he even moved the entire time. I, on the other hand, slept soundly from 10 pm-2 am, but woke up thinking it was morning and started getting ready to go for the day before I realized that I didn’t know how to tell time and that it was actually 2 am. So I proceeded to stay up to use the computer since I wasn’t tired at all. I took a couple hour nap at 5 am and we were out for the day.

We took the train to Versailles where we found just how extravagant the palace actually was. The pictures don’t do justice to the enormousness of the ponds and gardens. Ben and I walked around the entire pond which had to have been about a 5 mile walk. Thank goodness for my massaging gel insoles! We did take a break, however, at about the four mile mark where we both fell asleep against a tree in a garden. How you can sleep against a tree only 4 hours after waking up from a 12 hour sleep is beyond me, but I have video to prove that Ben was out cold. We pretty much crashed when we got back. Since our room is so small, our bed is right next to EVERYTHING, including the window. Therefore, I managed to get sunburned while taking a nap in bed. Well we are going out to explore a little more and maybe get our first meal that doesn’t include goldfish crackers, peanut butter pretzels, and granola bars.

(22:00) We just got back from a nice amble through another section of town in search of a grocery store. The one we wanted to go to originally was closed, but we stumbled upon another small store where we purchased a loaf of bread, some pre-sliced salami, and a bottle of wine. The bread was dry, the salami scanty, and the wine was…well, wine. I’m going to spend the rest of the night trying to convince Ben to stay in tonight.
