But for the trip we took early this May we did it differently. We stayed in Paris for eight days, so I didn't have to make such specific plans. Not only did we get to see the things we missed last time, but we could relax and linger over anything we enjoyed, which was usually a glass of wine at a café.

I was really excited about a planned bike excursion to Versailles. In my mind I thought we'd bike through the gardens, which you could never see simply on foot, have a picnic lunch, and then tour the chateau.
It was not at all as I had imagined. Our guide was goofy and didn't share much more insight than we already knew, we didn't bike through the gardens at all, just around the perimeter of the grounds, and three out of the four of us got a flat tire. Me first.
This trip to Paris was wonderful. Having friends there made it even better.
