Paris Day 3

This morning we got up and traveled to Versailles. It was huge and stunning but crammed full crowded. We walked through for a few hours. My favorite room was The Hall of Mirrors where the Treaty of Versailles was signed. It was filled with mirrors, obviously by the name, and also tons of chandeliers and art. After we finished walking through we sat in the small section of the garden they let us, since the rest of it was blocked off for a music festival. Tonight we might head off to the Eiffel Tower again, if we can muscle up the energy, then packing up for our early flight in the morning.  Last day in Europe. I never imagine this experience would happen this summer, much less this day would come. I can tell through my times here I have changed and grown as a person. Not only through the the things I have seen and done but also though the people I traveled with. This experience is something I know I will never forget. Thank you to the University and Uncle Richard Ellison for giving me this opportunity. I want the things I have learned and experiences I had not only to help me but I hope effect people from things I have learned. Tomorrow it's back to the States!
