An Afternoon in the Gardens of Versailles

The palace, which we didn't go in, as seen from the famed gardens of Versailles.

I spent the afternoon laying in the grass, walking around the lake while Marlene rented a bike.

The park is free, open to the public and you see joggers, families and all kinds of people.

Louis XIV, the Sun King, had the palace built and the gardens. He wanted a Venetian like canal....so he had one built.

Marlene took this picture. I'm stealing it.
