Bronze man


Michèle asking for directions, but she found that local a little ¨cold¨! That day, we toured the incredible royal palace. They still use it for special occasions. We had to wait in line for an hour, and found out it was because there was a large state dinner for 150 dignitaries in honor of President Putin of Russia the night before, and they were still cleaning up. The china and silver serving dishes they used were actually those in the museum part of the tour and they had to wash them before putting them back behind glass.

Michèle demandant son chemin à un homme du pays, mais elle l'a trouvé un peu froid! Ce jour là, nous avons visité le palais royal, bâtiment magnifiquement meublé. Le palais est encore utilisé, et l'ouverture avait une heure de retard car ils nettoyaient la salle a manger après le repas de la veille en l'honeur du président Putin de Russie. Les plats de porcelaine et d'argent devaient être lavés et remis en vitrine pour les visiteurs.
