Bonjour! Today I got to go to Versailles :) It was absolutely lovely there and so peaceful and calm. It was nice to get out of the city and enjoy another part of France. It is about 45 minutes from where I am living and it was a nice little drive to the countryside. The gardens there were incredible and the chateau was gorgeous!
It was the Grand Trianon and King Louis XIV lived there from 1688 - 1715 ... a lot of history there! It's hard for me to believe that I was walking through the same rooms that a former king lived in! WOW!

Wonderful Maggie! NOW, are you going to school? How was that? ;-)
haha! Of course I'm going to school! It certainly has been interesting there... a LOT of philosophy! I am learning so much everyday and am so happy that I am here!
Hi there. Glad you are at school! Everything looks great, i am sure speaking french all day is exhausting. I know in China at the end of the day we were tired, and all we said was Ni Hao (hello!)
your mom is doing fine btw - misses you but knows you're having a great time.
ps - I used a bit of distraction therapy on your mom. All I had to do is mention Sarah Palin and she was off and running!
ok, truth be told, so was I --snirk
looks awesome. im still jealous... haha
Maggie - keep adding photos. You look absolutely happy! I will keep my notes short but want you to know I've finally remembered my password. Now I'm an official blogger. Will be watching the interview with Palin on TV tonight. And, yes, I will sit on my hands - no inappropriate behavior I promise. Love to you and your Parisian family and friends. - Mother
Hi Maggie! Thanks for the postcard! I LOVED getting a postcard from Paris!
The pictures are wonderful! We're so lucky to be able to stay connected from so far away!
Love you and miss you but glad you are enjoying yourself
C'est a toi! (can't do the correct accent on this!).
