Versailles Disaster

Episode Summary

Today's trip to Versailles was stymied for me by the impossibility to drive my power wheelchair over the blocks, similar to cobblestone, only much larger. Each block had about a 3/4 inch drop causing a major jarring thunk. By the time I had carefully negotiated approximately 50 feet, my back, bad knee, and replaced hip were in pain. And I still had some 200 yards to go to the entrance.
