London

Our stay in London was an exciting time due to the warmer weather, easy transportation, and according to Grant ENGLISH!!

This was our hotel room in the London Marriott.

This was a cool sundial that we found while we were looking for the London Bridge Pier.

I cannot remember the architectural term, but these are slots that arrows are shot through when there were battle sieges.

Another shot of the castle.

This is the tour we took on this ferry seeing lots of London. Our tour guide was very funny with his British accent and dry humor.

I thought this was a cool gate . . .I just imagined the castle having a party and guests coming by boat . . .but it could have a completely different use.

This is me on the bridge waiting to get on the ferry in front of the Tower bridge.

This is the London Eye where you can see LOTS and LOTS of London. We did not go on it cause it was 14 Pounds. One rotation takes 25 minutes, and it earns British Air 10,000 pounds per one full rotation.

This is our Tour guide . . .he was funny.

Me in this picture...

Me making Grant pose in this picture.

Big Ben! It was so cool when we got there it was actually chiming, but it was funny seeing some people there waiting for it to chime.

This amazingly cute Asian kid at the famous platform 9 3/4.

Grant and I eating our soup and watching Gladiator, Kate and Leipold, and I think one other movie. We were having a bum night.

One of their normal buses that you use for transportation. This is part of Piccadilly Circus.

The more well known part of Piccadilly circus . . . it kinda like their times square.

More pictures of the area. .
.

These are the way that they checked us for our tube tickets. You put the ticket in a slot it pops out the other, and then you can proceed.

YEAH, we did not know there were that many steps walked up on this small spiral and our calves were burning . . . the panting lady in front of us was kinda annoying too!

We wanted to go to this exhibit, but it was sold out. They had 20 of the clay soldiers, and it supposedly is the last time that China will allow that many soldiers to leave again.

The Rosetta stone!!!!!!!!!!!

A huge door, and I do not remember what it was.

Tiles from Nineveh.

nasty tomb . . .

This was inside the British Museum.

The outside of the British Museum.

The tube.

This is our stop in London to get to our hotel.

Me sporting off my new jacket!

Me on the escalator . . .do not know why this picture was taken.

I was tired, and he would not leave me alone. rOar!

This was a picture that was posted behind our seats in the last airplane we were in, and we have no idea what is was for. . .

Last Day In Germany

It was sad but exciting when our time in Germany was drawing to a close. We were getting sick of traveling,but at the same time loved our experiences so far!

Again, no matter where we go we see Deloitte buildings everywhere. AKA my dad's company.

For Christmas, Simon, Grant, and I received coupons to the Campo Area, and here are pictures of the place. Now, I think it was an awesome idea, but it just stinks that most of the activities are for people younger than us, but we still had fun! In this picture, you can see how near the ceiling they had almost a whole obstacal course you could do with a safety harness that high off the ground . . .but we were too big, tear!

The climbing wall which we could have done,but it costs more for chalk, shoes, harness, and ropes.

More Rock climbing!

This huge blow up thing where Grant and Simon went in, and they were probably more than 10 years old than every other kid in there, and it was so funny to watch them jump on and to see all the little kids flying in all directions!

This was right after Simon and Grant jumped on the pillow thing. Simon hit heads with another kid, skinned his elbow, and he is the one that had to leave because he was sore, hurt, and upset. Slightly girlish tendencies.

This is where Simon took us, and it was a lot of fun! It was fun hanging out with him in his true element letting him show us where he likes to spend his time, and what he thinks is really cool!

We were all laughing how they used to have a section for smoking,but now they have a box . . . so we were laughing at the box and daring Simon to step out . . . he did :O!

At Simon's house we found out that if you put a silver spoon in a drink it keeps the fizz in . . Who would have thunk it!?

Simon and me chilling on his bed pretending that I did not have to pack!

This is the candy that we bought for people, and some for us . . . too bad we did not find any cherry yogurt tea . . . .

These are Simon's new biking shoes . . . these pictures are mainly for billy . . . sorry they are so late . . . it takes quiet some time to comment on all the pictures.

A different view.

During the packing process with a scale that was not very accurate. Also, This was a 4 in the morning so no one was too happy about the whole situation. I am not asking for pity since I know it was our own fault,but just stating the facts!~

Woot! This is when we were done packing and ready to head to London. We ended up not sleeping at all that night, and then sleeping on our flights to London. I even got upgraded to first class, and then ate half the food I got, and then I brought the rest back to Grant since he had not been upgraded. I felt kind of bad since everyone else had peanuts, and Grant was eating the rest of my curry marinated chicken with a rice pilaf, a warm roll with butter, and a frozen fruit custard with raspberries and blackberries.
