Europe Trip Recap: Versailles

We did a performance for the members in Versailles so we went to the palace and gardens of Versailles before the performance. It is a HUGE place! Thanks to power hungry King Louis XIV, who in building this ridiculously massive place made the country bankrupt, the French Revolution began.




Basically every room looked like this with more paintings, mostly of him. He sure did love himself. And every room was a different color. This color was our favorite.

Hall of Mirrors

The King's bed.
Slightly disappointed.

The Queen's bed

Can you see where the green trees end?
That's also where the gardens end.

The gardens were "free" that day.
That also meant they were closed.
So disappointing.

This is what Fez did while we rehearsed. Lucky...

Definitely not one of the better pictures taken of me. Fez seemed to be really good at capturing my worst faces this trip. Wait until you see the one from Saintes...

We sang Clive Romney's own rendition of "Love One Another" after the show. The spirit was so strong! It was a testimony to me that the church is true everywhere in the world and those that were there to see us were our brothers and sisters. We spread much more than our love of music and dance: we share the gospel and spirit of Jesus Christ.
