Deer Eating

There were plenty of deer around.

We saw some Sandhill Cranes out in the fields.

A few butterflies were in the area too.

We came across and old jeep. I thought my nephew might like to see it.

We also came across a beautiful Indigo Bunting.

Europe 2016 (France Part 2)

My first day back in France I went back to visit Versailles. This time I was able to get into the palace.

My second day back in France I visited le Musee du Louvre. I found the sculptures inside the museum to be unbelievable. There are rooms full of fantastic sculptures which are far too numerous for me to show here. This isn’t meant to replace a visit to the museum but here is a fine sampling of some of the very best.

After leaving the museum I wandered Paris a little bit. I went to a fantastic little ice cream shop called Berthillon. It’s a wonderful place my sister recommended and well worth a visit if you enjoy ice cream. After that I made my way to a fantastic beer bar called Les Trois 8 for a pint. It’s a great place to visit if you’d like a beer in Paris. I followed that up with a final stop at La Fine Mouse for another pint before heading back to my hotel for the night. The next morning I flew back to the States.
