Pictures: September

Whew, the workload has picked up some over here!  Luckily, I've gotten a head start on the work for next week, since I'm heading down to Marseille tomorrow with NYU.  Expect a full post after that trip-- in the meantime, here are some pictures from the last month, as per request.  Enjoy!

Versailles

The span of the gardens at Versailles

One of the many (many, many, many) fountains

A statue in the middle of one of the garden labyrinths

Another one of the hidden fountains

The dancing fountains in a lake at the edge of the gardens

The square in front of the palace

A shockingly empty hallway in the palace of Versailles

One of the many sculptures

The top of an organ

The ceiling and chandeliers in the Hall of Mirrors

I see you

One of the views of the gardens from inside the palace

Chantilly

NYU took all the freshmen on a retreat to Chantilly for a weekend in order to better orient us; lucky for us, the site was beautiful!

The hotel where the retreat was held

The ceiling of one of the rooms at the museum of the Chateau de la Tour

The largest room of the museum, covered in paintings

Black and white stained glass

Another ceiling in the museum-- sensing a theme yet?

The gardens of the museum

Two tiny puppies wandering the stables

Pepito is watching.  Always watching.

Grace, Rachel, and me

Wandering Paris

We were taken on a boat tour of Paris; this was the start of it

The Musee d'Orsay

The Eiffel Tower

The Notre Dame

Rachel and me with Jimmy Buffet at the American Library in Paris

The Eiffel Tower again-- but this time, at night!

Since the train to Marseille is three hours plus change each way, I should have a good amount of time to write, so don't worry, you'll get the stories behind all these pictures, I promise.  For now, au revoir!
