Riding a bike around Versailles would be fun. The tarerin is flat and the paths are wide. On my first visit I walked to the Petit Trianon and the Hamlet from the Palace and it was a beautiful walk, and not too long, maybe 5 miles. The second time I rented the little golf carts they had, and I loved that. The carts were a bit expensive, but very fun. If they still have those I highly recommend them.My favorite thing to do at Versailles, besides taking pictures, is to stand at the window in Marie Antoinette's bedroom and look out over the gardens. I can always kind of feel her personal history in that spot.And for sure bring some chic but practical shoes. Not running shoes - the French do not wear sports shoes on the street, and you will be branded as a tacky tourist if you wear them. Find something sturdy and comfortable and suitable for walking miles upon miles every day. I am excited that you are going, Heather, it will change you.Oh, and the book, "My Life In France", by Julia Child is one of my favorites. A great summer read to get in before the movie! Colleen
nice colors, good line work, would be better to see more variety with color, layout, and fish species with various fin shapes etc. overall good, but a bit static

Cute fish. They look happy to be in school. The way you made the water light to dark was handled nicely.thea walstra 07 Jul 2004
