Paris Day One....The Louvre

Home Alone is Oh So True...

So Lindsay and I have made it home, safe and sound. We ran into an internet snag in Paris, namely that it cost 30 Euros at our hotel to use the internet, which is roughly $45 US dollars per day. We have never appreciated the Holiday Inn Express London more than at that moment....So, I am posting these pictures from home, but I think they give a good idea as to Paris.



I don't really have a whole lot of time to go into Paris, but needless to say, we had our very own Home Alone moment when I completely fouled up the cell phone alarm and we did not wake up. Imagine frantic packing, curse words and general mayhem. We made it home though. Air France gave us free movies, of which I watched four: Nights in Rodanthe, Australia, Ghost Town and Role Models. Lindsay watched Rodanthe, Vicky Christina Barcelona and Rachel Getting Married. Thank you Air France, for saving me $20 in Blockbuster rentals. Not such a big thanks for the pickled herring you served for dinner.



Anyways, I am just going to post pictures, but needless to say, it is good to be home!

Cheerio London!

Good evening all! And hello Emily, our newest follower!

Today was our last full day in London. It was also our first day of sun in the city. We had a wonderful day. We started by seeing the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, and then went down to Westminster Abbey. Alas, it was closed for a special event, so don't ask us about what is in Westminster Abbey, b/c all we can tell you is that it has dead people and that we purchased postal cards at the gift shop. We happened to walk past 10 Downing Street, but did not see the prime minister, only his scary guards with big guns. We then met up with Lindsay's friends Jamie and Ken, who took us to see Greenwich. Yes, that is Lindsay stradling the Prime Meridian. She is officially in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres at exactly the same time. She can't read military time folks, but by golly this is an incredible feat nonetheless. Finally, we went to the local pub, where Fish and Chips Redemption 2009 occurred and Lindsay's bad experience yesterday is nothing but a bad memory and a scrapbook page waiting to happen. We will miss London. This is what we won't miss: Only five tv channels. One of which shows exclusively golf. Another which shows old CSI's and Will and Graces.

Tomorrow - off the Paris! London, we will always remember to mind the gap.

Priscilla Doesn't Like Anyone.....

Good evening. This is gonna be quick, b/c I am not sure how much internet time we have left!

So on Sunday, we went to the Tower of London. Now our guidebook says to allot 3-4 hours for this. We were there seven hours. First, there are a lot of placards there. Second, there are lines EVERYWHERE. We are now line experts. If there is a line, we will find it. If there isn't a line, we will attract a line. P.S. Lindsay is developing an unhealthy Henry VIII fixation. Might need a intervention there.

Then, we went on a Jack the Ripper tour that night.

Today, we did a lightning fast Windsor Castle/Stonehenge/ Bath tour. Now our tour guide was Priscilla. And on the twelve hours we were on the tour, we discovered Priscilla does not like, in no particular order: homeschooling, children, smelly food, rich people, taxes, "French Gangs", and rubbish universities. She does, however, like thatched roof cottages and roadway bus lanes. Complex woman. We ate a traditional British pub, which served Lindsay Fish and chips, with skin and bones intact. At the end of the meal, the entire slab of fish was still there, staring at her, taunting her with its scaly skinny body. Put eyes on it and it could have swam home.

The highlight of my night was using the Marriott Park Lane restroom. Big shout out to the lady at the front desk who saved my bladder after a three hour bus ride back from Bath.

Also, did you know restaraunts here close really early? For a time, we thought we were like the Mary and Joseph of food establishments - there was no room for us at the pub. Everywhere we went, they were closing. Maybe it was just us. But darn if we wouldn't have eaten in a manger last night if given the option. We have even had pizza delivered to us- and Lindsay has two day old chicken wings still here in the room as proof.

Anyways, we do want to say hello to everyone who is reading this! We get really excited every night looking at comments and seeing who are our followers!

Thank you!

P.S. Maybe if we are lucky, the travel channel will get ahold of this and hire us to replace Samantha Brown.
