Palace of Versailles

Dear Palace of Versailles

one favor

have some sort of line

because trying to enter into the palace was a cluster eff of epic proportions

so what do Texans do when they can't get in

golf cart buggy over the palace grounds

scare little children and run into hedges

the typical



Paris

My second stop in my world trip was Paris

I never had the ultimate urge to visit there, but once I arrived in France it became one of my favorites.

Maybe because I had actual good meals there.

I saw the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Seine River
I saw a burlesque show
I walked the Champs De Elysee
I got sullied with some best mates
I sat on the steps of the Sacre Coure, while watching the sun set over Paris
also

The Louvre is over-rated, but worth a visit.
I know a catch 22, a conundrum of sorts.

Somecards part dos

I need to work for this company....

Madame Tussauds

Madame Tussuad's

or as I like to call it, just chillin with my homies

the puppies, as we affectionately called ourselves took some time touring London's Madame Tussuad's

Good thing we bought the tickets early, cause that mother was packed!

I mean for reals, where can you hang out with all the "it celebs" in one location without having security be alerted to your presence

there is also a picture floating around the inter webs of all of us with the royal family

I might add that I'm giving Kate a run for her money as I'm arm and arm with Wills.

maybe I should photo shop her out  for my Christmas card

An Australian in Britain

This is just a few of the 1000 photos I took with my camera, not to mention the 600 or so I took on my IPhone. These are a few of my amazing tour mates, I was extremely blessed by the people who showed up. All ended up being cool, chill and fun.

This day we toured the shopping district in London, and purchased our puppy outfits.

Why not be crazy kids on vacation.

We sure made an impression all right

more to come later

I'm gonna hopt the pond, and have a spot of tea with the Queen!

LONDON 2012

So beautiful and lovely weather right before the Olympics!

I arrived one week before the opening ceremony which had the city at the height of excitement

lots of different countries, and lots of different people to watch

I met up with an old friend and he took me on a tour of the city

I'm sorry L for being so jet lagged

little sleep in air + excitement = in bed by 8:30 my time I think

we saw it all

and the best part was the speed boat tour of the Thames

I'm sorry for teasing about not going on one L too!

How was I supposed to know?

I sometimes put a whole shoe store in my mouth, instead of just my foot.

just chillen with the queen... notice the open door on the balcony!

Very funny german tourists, who dressed the part. One even had an accordian on his back

Mr. Big Ben!

I think I saw it all that day
and this was before I met some of my contiki tourmates

we may or may not have shown up to our meet and greet meeting in puppy onesies

We're the six best friends anyone could have

Breaker Breaker One Nine~ cheerio ol' chap

I'm back... with a slight vengence...

Yeppers,

Took a couple weeks off to wander all around Europe. It was amazing, and much needed, then I headed back straight into a beautiful friends wedding and straight into inservice for work, so I haven't had a chance to update you lovely readers on my wherabouts.

rest assured I'll do a country by country bloggy update, so you can see my wild and crazy (i'm the oldest one on the group) tour of Europe.

For now, though....

I just survived period one of my new students.

more on that later though.
