The only thing we abolutely *had* to do during our trip to Paris was visit the Palace of Versailles. True to form, there were long lines everywhere.

The only time there *wasn't* a lines was when areas were blocked off.

The art was tremendous. I continually felt like Po in Kung Fu Panda --
"I've only seen paintings of that painting!"

While there are much better images online and in print (such as
The Coronation of Napoleon), what's lost is the sheer *scale* of these works.

Although there's no substitute for being there (in this case, the Hall of Mirrors), the fact that everyone else is there too is inescapable.

But it's one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that I won't forget. Happy 16th birthday, 한준!
