Mon 28 Jul- PT/INR test; Versailles city, expensive mediocre dinner

Mon 28 Jul- coffee and chocolate croissant for breakfast, check the Internet for mail, last-minute cruise deals, etc. We split a very expensive sandwich and fries, and a E9 ($15) beer at the Westin for a light snack.
Then we checked with the concierge for a nearby test laboratory, and walked to the nearest lab for the PT/INR test that Stan needed. The communication was successful, they knew what was needed, and after a little paperwork and a E11 charge, a 5-minute wait and the blood was drawn. Hopefully the system continues as successfully to deliver the results!
We walked around Versailles, hardly recognizing it from our memories of 15 years ago. It seemed smaller and quieter then. Since it's Monday, many of the shops are closed, but we stopped by for a beer (2 for E7, a much better price, but still not a bargain).
For dinner we had a very expensive service at the Westin: 'exquisite French-inspired cuisine awaits with legendary Chef Gordon Ramsay,　who has recently introduced his first restaurant in France at the legendary Westin Trianon Palace'. So we had one of the least expensive white wines, Chablis 2005 (E28, $44!!); stuffed squid tempura with spicy tomato sauce; 'filet de maigret' with roasted eggplant and vegetables and cucumbre (E29); fine beans (a little plate for E5, that's $7.60 for a few string beans); creme brullee with raspberry sorbet; for a whopping E85. It wouldn't have been so bad if it were a really special meal, but it was just average. Would have been good for maybe E20; but a disappointment for E85. To top it off, they seated us where the hot bright sun was shining in our faces. Needless to say, no tip was left (and they'll not see us again).
