WOW and more WOW

Paris; que ciudad tan hermosa y extravagante. The french invented the concept of EXTRAVAGANCE; holy cow! everything is grand:
Every building; every street; every poster and the shoes; the shoes.........

It is said that travelling illustrates the illustrated, true but it also illustrates the not so illustrated: I remember learinig about the French Revolution sometime in Grade 5 and then reading about it and hearing my dad talk about the battles and kings; but once here all those stories have come alive like a real time movie.

The French; from the beginning of history (even before they were french) have been extravagant; passionate; no barriers hold; in my eyes that is reflected in their modus vivendus; warriors, conquerers, artists, writers, cooks, architects, etc. From the Crusades to now; that they think so highly of themselves; Brutal too, they killed, murdered and massacred so many people during thousands of years. Unbelievable that Marie Antoinette was queen living in so much luxury and ends up decapitated in the middle of a public plaza.

Versailles, the perfect example of extravagance; WOW!!WOW!! it,s just amazing: Every detail, every wing, every door handle, and all those gardens....no wonder why the peasants revolted. But it is great that all the French kings decided that they were so grand - and God grander ? - and built all those amazing places. What I like a lot is that when I am there I can really imagine what it might have been at the different times and the time seems to stand still while I go off to Carolina,s land of imagination; I wish I could draw; i carry my book around and have done some little sketches, i am also really amazed that i went to art school for 5 years...nobody could tell .... they are not even amateur, but heck; i can say it is my own style; hahaha; Versailles, an impressive, magnificent site that i hope everyone can see at least once in their life:
