Versailles

My husband and I will travel to Versailles in the spring to watch an opera.

We are going to visit Versailles.

Take advantage of this opportunity to see Versailles.

Where are the Versailles gardens located?

The Rhineland was made a demilitarised zone by the Treaty of Versailles.

Paris is not far from Versailles.

Louis XIV built an Orangerie at the Palace of Versailles.

"Casper, 'mono no aware' is the Japanese aesthetic awareness of the sad gentle transience of things." "Give me an example, David." "It's like the time that I sipped 'crème de menthe' at a café near the Palace of Versailles."

At a cafe near the Palace of Versailles, I drank a timeless glass of crème de menthe.

On the 10th of March of 2015, it is a walking day to a doctor's appointment. In the morning, I visit the local Roman Catholic worship centre. It is a brown mid-20th-century building. I gaze at a Mexican Santa María painting in the hallway. There are words in Spanish. The banners in the high-ceiling main chamber are purple, signifying support for Lojban and things Lojbanic, perhaps. By lunchtime, I am at the Richmond Public Market. I take the stairs up. First, I drink a plastic glass full of Sour Plum Bubble Iced Green Tea from a bubble tea vendor called Peanuts. Second, from the food vendor Captain Wa at a corner, I eat Noodles with Lemon Chicken, Tofu, Lotus Root Slices, as well as complimentary Hot Tea. Third, I drink a Starfruit Bubble Iced Green Tea from Peanuts, again. Fourth, having taken the escalator down, I buy a strange sinographic dictionary of a strange Asian Mainland tonal language. Fifth, having gone up the escalator, I drink a Mint Iced Tea from a bubble tea vendor called QQ Bubble Tea & Coffee. (The Q maybe is support for my Xoqolat.) The cold mint drink reminds me of my drinking mint at a café in Versailles in France, years ago. The Richmond Public Market is like a big garden atrium, as if in the middle of a tropical jungle. It is full of Kanjifolk.
