Day 3 Versailles to Bayeaux

The day started out very French. Asked the desk clerk for coffee to go. "Of course" he replies. "You can get it at the restaurant." We went down to the restaurant and asked for coffee to go. The waitress said Yes, but we have no cups. So no coffee, on to Versailles.

Tom was impressed by the Hall of Battles and did his Napoleon impression.



As we were leaving Versailles, the line to enter was several hundred people deep. We were very glad that we had gone early.



Next stop Chartres Cathedral.



As you can see, Tom is leading an architectural lecture with 2 very enthralled students. As you can see Lisa is not listening.



On the way to Bayeaux, we developed major car problems. We did not think the transmission would get us safely to the next town. However, Bill's excellent driving skills and Tom's extensive automobile knowledge enabled us to limp our way to our hotel. We went to bed (after many drinks) thinking our next day would be ruined. Because of the stress of the trip and the many drinks, we decided not to blog last night.
