Paris - March 28

On Tuesday we headed over to Versailles. It's about 40 minute ride from the city on the RER train and a 10 minute walk from the train station. When we got there we looked for the cashier to purchase our entry tickets but all were closed. We started asking around to figure out what's happening. People kept saying "la greve". We finally figured out that the museum workers were on strike. Lucky for us, the gardens were open, so we were able to stroll around and spend a good part of the day in its gardens. We made a full circle tracing the perimeter of the pool/canals which took over two hours. Later we found out that the property's perimeter is 42 kilometers. Even though the museum was closed we had a great time just visiting the gardens.
