England I

In London, we visited Big Ben/Parliament, Leicester Square, saw 'Blades of Glory', Tower of London, ate lunch at Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, the Green Park, Trafalgar's Square, the London Eye (but didn't go on it because it is ridiculously expensive), and went out with a big group of people we met at our hostel.














Paris

Emily's apartment in France. The dog in the picture is Mascot, Monique's little dog. Emily dresses like a Parisian.


We spent the day going to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, then took a long stroll down the Champs Elysee, and ended up at the Louvre. The picture below was at the Arc when Emily happened to take the picture right as that huge bug flew by her face (that huge black dot is the bug). It then proceeded to fly straight at April's face.



We went to up the Eiffel Tower at night. Unfortunately, the very top was closed so we only got half-way up. It was awesome though.




We both absolutely love Versailles. Pictures to not do justice. Everyone has to go here sometime. It is so beautiful. We had a picnic on the water then went through the chateau.



Inside the Louvre was crazy. It is so huge and there is no way to see it all. We ended up seeing the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and lots of other cool things...

Arrival in Paris

We've really only spent one day in Paris. We will do lots here in the next few days. But we did make it to the Eiffel Tower. We also went to the supermarché and cooked ourselves a real french dinner.


Brussels


We spent Saturday in Brussels and we both agree it sort of sucked. Impractical public transportation (for europe) and not many sights to see. Even mannekin pis was a let down. We were glad we were leaving to paris soon...

Belgium

Hey everyone. We are safe in Paris right now. We met up in Brussels at the choco bnb on Friday afternoon and then headed off to see The Shins at Le Botonique. We got there and learned they were sold out! We were mad because we couldn't buy tickets online... Anyway, awesome, french-speaking Emilie did some negotiating and ended up getting us tickets! We got to see the whole show and it was great. The picture is us after the concert.
