Brielle in Europe-May 19

Date: Tuesday, May 19

Location: Ghent, Versailles

"First, we went to Ghent to see the famous altarpiece.  Then we went to the Palace of Versailles.  We went on a private tour. My favorite part of the tour was the opera.  The seats can move up to stage level to make a banquet hall.  After visiting the rest of the castle we went to the gardens.  At the gardens we saw a double rainbow.  Then we saw an airshow by the French Air force.  They kept going in circles and making the french flag."

We had Brazilian and African pastries for a treat before going in for a tour.

We went to the hall of mirrors with crystal hangers with candles on them and mirrors on the side.  

The Versailles Palace from the gardens just looked like a long straight line with roofs and a bunch of windows.  

While we were in the gardens it started to rain while the sun was shining so we got a rainbow right over the palace and it was very pretty.

We took a picture inside Versailles so the whole background part was the square part in the back. 

We saw the French Air Force do an Air Show in front of the Versailles palace.  They kept going around and around in circles doing the French flag.  It was really cool.

At the end of the French Air Force show we saw them doing a big firework and split up so it was like a smoke firework.  It was really cool.
