Versailles (France, not Missouri)






Today we had great weather for our visit to Versailles.  It is just the beginning of the tourist season, but people were out in force.  After being herded through the tour of the king and queens chambers as well as the Hall of Mirrors, we tasted the freedom of the out-of-doors in the fabulous gardens and grounds.

Tomorrow we visit the city of Paris museum of modern art at the Palais de Tokyo.  Then back for packing.  Friday morning our shuttle service will pick us up at 6:10 a.m.-----sleepy-eyed I imagine.  It has been a great trip with a great bunch of students, but I think everyone is ready to be back home.  Since this is likely to be my last blog entry before we return, here's the itinerary for the flight day:

Continental Airlines Flight #57, departs Paris @ 9:55 a.m.
Arrives in Newark New Jersey @ 12:05 p.m.
Continental Airlines Flight #2806, departs Newark @ 2:40 p.m.
Arrives in Kansas City @ 4:42 p.m.
