Blogging from: Paris, France
Today was probably one of the most starling days I have ever had. Let me begin with revealing a little more about myself. I am a history junkie. If i didn't love politics as much as I do, I would probably be doing something with history. I enjoy learning about how human similar to us where making an impact in the world 300 or 400 years ago...making history.
Furthermore, I have come to really love, and therefore study French history, with an emphasis in the French Revolution. I could sit here and tell you why this specific part of history, but I really don't one to list each one. There are a lot of reasons, which is why, today was very special. I had the opportunity to go to Château de Versailles for the first time. It is impossible to describe each and every feeling I had. I was perplexed at the fact that I was standing in the mecca, more or less, of one of the most significant times in history. I think reading about it in books does not even come close to how you really feel when you are standing there.
Hold on, I have to get this out of my system....I WAS JUST WALKING THE SAME STEPS KING LOUIS XIV, MARIE ANTOINETTE AND NAPOLEON ONCE WALKED!!!
It is very overwhelming to know that I have read and study about these characters for six/seven years, and now, I am standing a little bit closer to them. Sorry, I am tearing up a bit, but this is just my obsession with such a subject kicking in.
