So, one night I had this dream that I woke up and was back in California. My initial reaction? I was happy to be home! But then I realized I hadn't done nearly enough in Paris during my time so, since then I've felt very motivated to run out and do as many things as possible. Well... because of school, cold weather, and money I can't say that I've accomplished too much but today; after my morning run I was sitting in my apartment thinking of what I could do. And then it hit me!
Versailles :) Thankfully, it is quite easy to get to the Chateau from Paris. One (RER) train will take you directly there. I didn't have much time to explore the grounds as I would have liked but because it's only about a 40 minute ride away, I'll be going back soon enough.
There is currently a semi-controversial art exhibit taking place at the Chateau. Japanese artist Takashi Murakami has temporary installed some of his art pieces throughout the grounds. His art style contrasts incredibly against this traditional Chateau but I really enjoyed this one piece that I found and probably would have liked his others as well. Although, due to a time constraint I didn't have time to find them.
Next on my list? Perhaps the Catacombs! Stay tuned.
