Nothing can quite do this trip justice. It was the biggest whirl wind of events. I have never been so lucky in all my life to be able to see so much with so little time, and not have to pay one dime for it all. I guess there are some perks of being a teacher. Some of the things that I loved that are not pictured: The fall leaves in the Versailles gardens, a river cruise down the Seine, a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower at night, all the wonderful things I bought on Le Champs Elysee, the Louvre, the Musee D'Orsay (my fave), Versailles at a distance, the amazing food I ate, and all the wonderful people I met. Joe and I are already planning our trip back.
