France 2004 - Day 1 : Crazy Crazy Day!!! :
Well I arrived in Paris. No lost luggage or anything.
I was clever and only got 20 dollars changed at the airport because the rates are bad - more on that in a second.
So I pick up the car - get it all set up an comfy and get on the road.
I see a sign for Chateau Chantilly and figure even though it wasn’t on my list - why not?
It was great - got some great shots and they have an amazing art collection.
The funny thing is I spent all my cash on admission to the castle and then the lady reminded me that banks are closed on Mondays - this is not good.
At the gift shop they sold 3D photos which I got and a book on Durher which is very nice - they have a huge private collection - I almost got to see but the lady had a tour.
So on a bit of whimsy I went walking through the gardens and actually got lost - the GPS was in the car but with that much cover it light not have helped anyways.
I got lucky when I spotted an employee leaving through a locked gate and snuck out with her into the parking lot.
What happens next gets its own entry.
