Sorry the Paris section was so boring, but we’ve come to the end. I think the problem is that, I have lots of photos so it’s long, and I love the place so I find it hard to be funny/sarcastic, and I don’t have my journal yet, so I’ve forgotten most of the details that may make an interesting Story. But I thought I’d leave you with this interesting Story, accompanied by pics of Somchai in the role of Marie Antoinette. She was bored silly at Versailles, and had a fake village built at back (by at back I mean behind the main palace, walk 2 Miles past two more small palaces used for when the king was with his mistress, then keep going until you arrive at this rural wonderland.) The whole place is fake, but she loved to come out here and dress up like a shepherd (until they cut her head off of course). She had her own flock of sheep, which were dipped in perfume daily to hide the sheep smell. The place is really pretty in its own right, but the mental picture of the queen dressed up like little bo peep shepherding her fragrant sheep is a keeper.
Note from 2010: I’m laughing as I read my apology here for having so many pictures. Those of you who follow Somchai’s facebook page now that we now take about 500 times more photos per trip than we did in the beginning of our travels. I figure future blog posts will have to have a photo to word ratio of 100 to one to keep up with my photocrazed partner.
