We’ve been seeing a lot of different things these days. Today, we decided to explore life in this area as it happened in the days of old. There’s an open-air museum not far from here, in a little town called Oldenburg, that’s where the journey took us today. We saw the ways in which people lived more than a thousand years ago, visited their houses, and learned quite a bit of life in these parts of the world before the middle ages. Of course, Oldenburg, too is worth a little visit, with its little streets, and neat pretty houses.  

Now, you can’t just go to Paris without seeing the royal splendors of nearby Versailles. That’s at least what we think. So, the last stop of our trip to France was at Château de Versailles, the royal palace, and one of the most famous sites in France. It took us a while to navigate through the line of visitors, which was almost a mile long (no joke), but then we were able to share in all the pleasures King Louis and his court once were able to enjoy. Except: We had to share it with a few more people than his majesty surely would’ve ever imagined stomping through his bed chamber during his day. But we were impressed nonetheless and spent a couple of very pleasant hours exploring the palace and grounds before it was time for us to return to our little corner of the Black Forest.
