England


Well, despite some struggles with our luggage and exaustion on the first day, England was amazing (largely due to the chivalry of English gentlemen). I cannot thank the guys who carried our luggage up the stairs in the tube enough. I also cannot thank Denny enough for lugging it all over the English country side. First night (in London) was nothing special, we were too tired to do more than walk around. On Saturday we took in all the typical tourist sights (Big Ben, Pariliament, Buckingham Palace) and then headed off to Bournemouth. In Bournemouth we got decked out in some UV paint and went dancing. We met some lovely people and thouroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Oxford was beautiful; neither Kelsey or I can believe people actually go to school there. Denny was an excellent tour guide and we had a nice day. We went out and saw P.S. I Love You that night (wow movies are expensive in England!). It was a cute movie and nice and relaxing after all of our traveling. On Monday we went to Stratford upon Avon and saw Shakespeare's house and the Tudor Theater. Unfortunately it rained and we got quite wet. We met up with Rich from GV that night in a pub and just chatted and hung out in British fashion.
Today we took the Eurostar through the Chunnel to Paris and we are very happy that we are staying for a couple days. I am about to run out of internet time, so that's all for now.
