Queen of Versailles

Too bad the fountains weren't on.. I thought Versailles is the palace of luxury! Haha.

 Posing with a not-so-picturesque boat collision in the background.

These photos were taken on my last full day in France at the Palace Versailles.  I can't believe it's been a month since the trip. It's so weird remembering that something is over when you have looked forward to it for months. 

My experience was like nothing I've ever had and I would do it over in a heart beat. I was put out of my comfort zone by living with a host family for a week and a half, eating strange (but amazing) foods, and speaking a language 24/7 (well almost) I hardly know. 

I learned to not be afraid of the unknown and to have trust in the kindness of strangers.
I learned that I can do anything I put my mind to and that is the biggest thing I took away from this trip. 

Now I feel ready to take on any challenge life throws me. Because I know if I set my mind to it, I can accomplish anything. 

Enough with the sappiness Andrea... I hope you have a great week.
