This goes back to my visit to
Versailles, this is the Douphanes privet study. I like the turquoise color
of things in the room. This is one of the side desks.

Me taking the picture, you can
really see how much turquoise is in the room. He especially studied religion,
history, and law.

If green was conducive to sleep
and relaxing for the eyes, what was red? This was the Douphines bedroom.
in 1747, before that it was an anti chamber and before that it was a guard
room.

A shot of one of the gardens,
heck a small forest too. How would you like that for a back yard? In the
winter you could have your own skating rink and imagine the snowball fights,
if it got that cold. Hunting is definitely a sport that would work.

One of the fountains, but its
not on. Remember this because you will see it with the fountain on in the
spring.

I like all the designs made by all the plants. No, I don't know any of
these people.

At a book store in Mons I saw
this poster in the window. Harry Potter in French, the fourth book is not
out yet. I got a zany idea, maybe I should read one of them in French.
I have read one in American English and three in British English.

That is as high as you are allowed
to go. But I had this crazy idea to get a shot with me on the lion's back,
no such luck.

That's the lion. It is memory
of Napoleon getting defeated. Herby has more details, I am sure.

This shot was taken with Herby
in mind because it shows which armies were where and the battle field.

Here is a closer view of the
legend, so you can see which colors are which country. How do they choose
which country is which color?
