L&P DLC: The Palace of Versailles and Musee de L'Armee

Today we took a quick trip to the Palace of Versailles and when I say quick trip I mean a quick trip. Not counting the unknown amount of time that we spent standing in the extremely long, winding line into the palace, we were probably there for just an hour. We all did a pretty quick run through the building, snapping pictures, a stroll through the garden and then back to the train that brought us there.

I got off the train a couple stops earlier than everyone else because I wanted to go back and see something we'd visited prior, so as everyone went and did their thang, I went to see the Musee De L'Armee (Army Museum/Museum of Army?). It was awesome seeing a nunch of ancient armor from the 12th-17th century, weapons and history about the French and WWI. I've also finally learned the differences between wheellock and flintlock pistols. 

I decided to have a really nice meal tonight and splurged, spending 17€ on a burger and lemonade, which was actually just Sprite but loaded with lemon and lime slices. It was super delicous and worth the money. Once again, I've exhausted my leg muscles walking and standing the entire day, so I'm just hanging out in the room. It's not even 9:00PM yet and it's still light outside.

Tomorrow is packing day. I have a bunch of souveniers I need to make room for. Crossed fingers everything fits, and I won't have customs issues *crosses fingers*!
