Marie Antoinette's village outside of Versailles was a treasure we loved discovering. Quaint gardens and farm houses in charming contrast to the massive and ornate palace and grounds built to impress royals and peasants like us. Denmark's version of Versailles named after King Fredrik V is a national treasure and houses paintings of one of my favorite artists Carl Bloch.
Bob and I received a framed print of Denmark's Fredriksberg castle as a wedding present because I had a dream of going there with him some day. 22 years later here we are celebrating our 'Danishness' as a family June 21 2009. We climbed the stairs of the Eiffel Tower for views of Paris at midnight. It was amazing!!! Who cares if we missed the last train and got back to our villa near EuroDisney at 3:00 a.m. paying for a taxi to boot. We slept in the next day and watched German TV eating baguettes and jam waiting for our blisters to heal:)
We fell in love with London as we walked everywhere since the transit workers were on strike. From Les Miserables at the Queen's Theater to As You Like It at the Globe we were bedazzled and stood in awe of art, architecture, and the regal heritage of this magnificent city we hope to visit again!!!
