Paris day two

It is warm!!! Not good when you are walking miles and rewearing clothes! This outfit will be going straight into the "do not wear again" pile that is for sure!!
We are on a train on our way home from Versailles, about 30 minutes out of Paris where Louis XIII famous palace and gardens are. What a magnificent sight to see! This palace is over the top in every way, including a gold gate at the entrance! We spent the entire afternoon walking around the gardens which were beautiful too. 
This morning we went back to the Eiffel Tower and made our journey to the top. It was a lot of waiting (in all about two hours) for about twenty minutes at the top, but was worth it! Plus we met some nice girls from the East Coast and were able to talk with them in each line, which helped us to not realize how long we had been standing in one spot. 
We are now feeling over heated and exhausted and Kevin is dying to get to the grocery store because he has just discovered that he has not ate any meat since our last day in Dublin which was six days ago (maybe this has something to do with how tired and hungry we feel right now).
Tomorrow is going to be 92 degrees and we are headed to Disneyland Paris because we have some extra time and like to get out of the city, so tonight is another early night.
And, just for the record, the people in Paris have been much more friendly and helpful and welcoming than the people we encountered in London. We have been pleasantly surprised by this, seeing how we were repeatedly warned against French people. 
Another amazing day to go into the record books! Miss you all, and REALLY wished we had our girls with us today in that big amazing park! We cannot wait to see those little furry balls of love :) Night night!
