what a difference a year makes

this picture was taken a year ago. we decided while we were in paris to go back to versailles. the time before we had only explored the grounds. which was totally amazing by the way. i had gone to all the fabulous bakeries and delis near our hotel in the marais and bought some tastey treats for a picnic. we walked for hours most of the time it was just us. it was truly a magical experience to be alone in versailles. so this last time we went i insisted we had to go back and go inside. well, this was a very different experience. we took the wrong train to begin with adding an hour onto a twenty minute trip. when we arrived there was an incredibly long line to buy tickets. i don't even remember a line at all the time before. it was raining while we waited in line and the woman behind me insisted on standing on my heels. when we finally made it inside it was like being in a closterfobic persons nightmare. people everywhere! i mean everywhere there was someone pushing you out of the way to take a photo. it was totally intense. sometimes when i'm around that many people i can't help but get overwhelmed with the crazy energy. this is not a good thing because then i become crazy just like the rest of them. so we made our way out of there as quickly as possible. sometimes you shouldn't mess with the universe. lesson learned.
