We (Noel, Lori and I) had a wonderful day at Chateau Versaille. If you are totally ignorant to french culture, this is the 
palace in which may King Louis' presided, Louis XIV "The Sun King" being one of them along with Marie Antoinette, being a couple of famous personalities. The day was clear and sunny but only a high of 32F...BRRRR! We walked the palace and the gardens and all was wonderful. We lunched in deep in the gardens where Marie Antoinette had her get away place from the palace. It was so cold all the fountains and ponds were frozen over...poor swans.

We were back in town by 3pm and bee-lined to the Musee de L'Orangerie in the Tuileries to see Monet's water lillies in the Nyphees. GORGEOUS! I had seen them in 1991 and 1993, but it had been too long, and Lori and Noel were water lillies vigins. The colection down stairs in the same place was lovely too...tons of Cezannes, Renoirs, Rousseaus, Picassos and more. 
Lori then went off to a boat cruise and the Spletzers met up with Noel and I at the museum. The four of us went back to our favorite place in the Marais, L'As de la Falaffel. The Jewish district is so fun and the falaffels are to die for! (not to mention the hot Israeli boys that work there). We all went home and had Jewish desserts from their boulangerie and wine...of course more wine!!!
