SAU at Versailles

As you can see, I did not take this picture, our guide did. I wonder how she got my iPhone to work better for her?

The weather held for us again today. We spent nearly three hours touring parts of Versailles, Louis XIV's "hunting lodge."

After we looked at the famous gardens behind the building (I rented a golf cart, btw). Hard to believe that the French kings lived such lives while their subjects suffered poverty, poor health, and early death.

We'll be home Monday and are not looking forward to that 8.5 hour flight. At least we'll be flying west so we'll gain some of that time back.

Zoave of the Seine

 Historic Flood Levels on the Seine

The Zoave today

On our boat ride today we learned about the Zoave (type of French soldier) that stands near Pont de l'Alma bridge. Many worry that the Seine will flood more often and more hazardly than in the past because of global warming.

Insane on the Seine

I could not take the picture from the bow, not enough room! We're in front of Paris' oldest bridge, the Pont Neuf (the New Bridge), new back in the day, but the oldest now.

So here are two pictures of our group getting ready for Seine River cruise.

Woo Pig! Louvre

When our kids were little and when we were returning to Arkansas, we often played a game. It involved finding the first Arkansas Razorback sign, bumper sticker, or decal. As you might imagine, those become rare once out of the Natural State.

Well, I won the prize on this trip. The Razorback pictured is in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Allez les cochons! (Go pigs in French...)

SAU at Arc de Triomphe

No way to cross THIS street. It would be like the old FROGGER game and you remember how that turns out for the frog.

There is a pedestrian tunnel, btw.

SAU at Eiffel Tower

The weather in Paris has cooperated with us. Today we saw the Eiffel Tower. It's a must see!
