Versailles and other things.

So Versailles was a bit bigger than I expected. I thought it was just the castle and orange trees. Apparently there's this huge park thing, too. Whaddya know.

There's also hunting grounds, which follow a strict NYC-esque pattern.

Louis XIV must've had a real challenge around these parts.

We stayed in the park a little while. We couldn't go into the castle because they were having some elaborate and expensive showcase with classical music. I wonder if the attendees to that ate swan.

But the park was nice. There was a canal with boats and nice big trees and soft grass. I talked about gales I like to play when I'm in public, namely "Find the Spy" and "Future Me."

To play Find the Spy, you survey the people around you and try to figure out who is the spy and who is the assassin sent to KILL the spy. It's kinda fun.

For Future Me, you have to choose an old person from the crowd, and decide that THAT person is you in the future. The you have to figure out how you got where you are and why you look the way you do. I got a well-dressed man in his seventies with a limp. Looks like we're due for another war in the future.

I also got a good chance to connect with the kids. Ludovic escpecially. The parents were both exhausted and Ludovic was cranky. I played with him a little, in the patented Leonard fashion of just throwing him around. I spun him around, bench pressed him, tossed him in the air. The usual stuff. Apparently Isabelle and Raphael don't do that much because he was super excited and active and stuff. Kids, man. Isabelle took a video which I may be able to nab.

I've got growing pains in my legs. I'm probably gonna come back home looking like Jack Skellington. I guess this is what happens when your diet doesn't consist of egg noodles and Saltines.

I finally broke a guitar string. It was the G. Again. It's always the G. We're gonna replace it soon.
