Cut for images of pastries, cheese, the Seine by night, and some very unhappy tourists. Most of these were taken by my mom.

The Seine by night.

I strike an odd pose at the Seine.

A traditional cheese shop.

I huddle in a babushka.

Versailles. You can't tell, but it's freezing cold and pouring rain.

The tourists at Versailles do not actually wish to march through the gardens in the wet and cold.

Neither does the tour guide, who is not even wearing stockings and is very tired of hearing, "Is that a long walk?"

Maybe it's just me, but I thought it was kinda obvious after the first view of Versailles that the answer to that question will ALWAYS be "yes." The place is friggin' huge. I would not have been a servant there for anything.

I feel sorry for the tour guide.
From:
I agree on the babushka colour
And she remembered to bring an umbrella, so she must have had some inkling the weather might be bad, but she still wears gold sandals...
Also - that stage left exit of the tour guide, was that her saying "suit yourself, do the rest of the tour on your own" or what? ^^
