I SEE said the blind man as he fell down the stairs....

Solution to the problem of not having enough room on your digital camera memory cards? Borrow a USB cable from a dutchman! Problem solving is totally my thing... AND I finally get to share some visual evidence that I am indeed in Europe and not hiding out in someone's basement. Even though I've momentarily forgotten some of the significance of a few of my pictures... yeah it was bound to happen.



I know what you're thinking... and yes, this is one of the most historic sights in London. This is where Hagrid gave Harry his first train ticket for the Hogwarts Express. *SIGH*



This, of course, is Westminster Abbey. This was one of my favorite places, but they don't allow photos inside sooo this is all I got. Its a little Sound of Music, I know, but its an abbey. I figure they're all basically the same, eh?


This is the Tower of London-- also one of my favorite places. The picture is kinda boring, but the actual place isn't, I promise.


This is the view we got from the first balcony at St. Paul's Cathedral, before we all nearly had conniptions about climbing the spiral staircases that swayed to and fro.



And this is the view from the top!



And view from the top + me. See? I really was there.




MIND THE GAP.




My first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower!



We had to have SOME fun on this trip...




You may be asking yourself, "I wonder if Marie Antoinette slept in that bed?" Well yes she did.




Versailles! I can't believe they were able to drag me away from here...



The famous stained glass window at the head of Notre Dame Cathedral... if you look closely you can see Quasi Modo hangin out




The gigantic stained glass windows at Saint Chapelle




LOOK AT DA BONES




Annnnd Rodin's The Gates of Hell. On THAT note....

Hay Margs...i am REALLY glad to see you post theses pix as I was actually starting to think you may be hangin out with Wawers in Lincoln. Very good pictures and I presume these are the tip of the iceberg and many more are to follow....also, ummm, don't probably want to be bumming too many favors off of strange dutch dudes in Amsterdam as a general rule...sorry to go all 'parental' on you, but I'm just sayin... also also, glad to hear you have mastered the art of problem solving as that skill will be a great one to have for the next 70-80 years or so...really looking forward to more pictures...
