my chateau in versailles

it's really really nice. it's pretty big, too, so any and all are welcome to come crash. oh, i know, it's all historical and stuff, but whatever. we can party there; that's what all the royalty used to do.

really, though, versailles was amazing. another difference i've noticed between the french and american is how we enjoy our nature. we americans prefer to preserve it in its natural state. in fact, we go to great lengths to keep things just exactly how they are naturally. the french, however, seem to really like to plant their own nature and keep it trimmed very nicely. they pride themselves on their well-kept gardens (look at how straight those trees are trimmed! how in line the bushes are! how orderly and patterned the flowers are!). i'm able to appreciate both. i think it's amazing that nature alone can put together something impeccable, but man also has the creative imagination and dedication to make something so beautiful.

ah, barf on my cheesy words. who do i think i am, a poet? i'm going to bed. gotta rest for my first day of class!

p.s. is nobody else a little concerned about the osama bin laden tapes?
