Paris - Day 2: Breakfast, Temple, & Lunch

We started off our day with a delish chocolate croissant from our next door bakery.  The hotel we were staying at did offer a breakfast but it was like 7 euros and my mom thought we'd like prefer a more french breakfast.
After we ate it was time for our Uber driver to come pick us up for the temple.  We looked into how to get to the Paris temple and it would have taken us like 5 different transfers on buses, the metro, and maybe even the subway.  So I said that I would pay for an Uber driver to take us to the temple.
Since we needed to be to the temple before a certain time to get into the session we wanted, I did not want to risk getting lost and/or being late to the temple.  It also made me feel like I was contributing towards the group.
We got a really nice Uber driver who didn't speak much English, but actually spoke some Spanish.  So I was able to chat with him a little bit while we drove to the temple which was located in Versailles.
The temple did not stand out at all, it was so small.  It amazed me that the temple was located right in between some large apartment buildings.  No Moroni on top, just simple and beautiful.  It blended in nicely to the the surroundings.
I was so happy to be at the newly dedicated temple  It was just a mini temple, but the spirit was strong and it was beautiful.
We tried to go in the outside door but it was locked, so we went around.  They had a little visitors center and then they had another door to go through.  They told us that for security reasons they leave that other door locked.  Their were a few of the temple workers who spoke English (thankfully).
We were told that they would not have clothes for us so we all packed our own temple clothes for the trip.  Once we were there a newly wed couple came in behind us and they did not have clothes and the temple did have some clothes for them, but they were very thankful that we brought our own.
The session was wonderful.  Their were many people there who had headsets on to hear the session in their own language.  Some were Spanish, German, and then English.  It was such a neat experience to see people from all around the world there in the temple doing the same thing.  Serving our Heavenly Father and his children.  Super awesome.  It totally made me wish we went to the temple in London too.  I guess another time.
After we changed our clothes we walked around the temple a little bit before going around the visitors center.  They also had beautiful grounds with a large statue of Christ.  I really loved it there!
We asked a few people how we could get to the Versailles Castle and where they suggest to eat lunch.  They told us that their was a little restaurant up the street that we could walk to.  So off we went.  It was a few blocks up the street and our waiter was really nice and spoke pretty good English.
My mom and I shared a cheese burger.  We figured if we shared our meal we would have room for some yummy dessert.  And we did.  The burger was pretty good and then we had a really good dessert.  It was kind of like a chocolate lava cake with some sort of cream on top.  It was pretty dang good!  France was not disappointing us on the food.
Our server told us that Versailles was just up the street and we could walk there.  So after eating we headed on our way to the castle up on the hill.  I would say it was about 4-5 blocks away.  It wasn't too bad of a walk while we were in the shade.  Connie and my mom had a hard time with some of it, so we took a couple breaks for them to rest.  But then we made it to Versailles!!!
