Today we took the metro to Versailles to see the Palace of Versailles. Quite appropriate for Valentine's Day...don't you think? My cousin and I actually had a good time there. Although the gardens were not in season, and most of the statues were covered up, it was still nice to be in Versailles for the day and tour the palace. We grabbed a bite in one of the cafes in the town and did some shopping as well. Back to the hotel we dropped off our bags and headed back out again to go to Galaries Lafayette to do some more shopping. We were a bit too late....the stores close much earlier here than any of our malls. So tonight instead of having supper at such a terribly late hour, we were actually going to be eating early for us ..8 in fact. We set off to go to supper choosing to eat Italian tonight. I know, it sounds kind of weird...we are in France eating Italian food...but my cousin dreamed she had pizza and salad last night, so we were going to make that happen.
What happened at the restaurant...well that could be considered a made for TV movie...let's just say that we got roses and drinks sent to our table and it looked like they were never going to give us our bill and wanted us to stay.I have to say that we had quite the Valentine's Day, left the money on the table for the bill and ran out before the owner of the restaurant had the chance to tell us once again that he was off tomorrow evening. Really? We're cousins...
On the metro ride back to our hotel we met a fellow New Yorker here at school - David, who said he was at school for a semester and who rode the metro with us and told us it was good to hear someone speak English. He wished us Happy Valentine's Day as we got off at our stop. It was truly an interesting evening.
