Here, as promised, are a few of the pictures I took in Europe.

It was hard to sort through all 900 of them (yes, you read right) to pick out the highlights, but here they are.

We went to London, England; Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Manheim, Germany; Lucerne, Switzerland and Paris, France.

All in 8 days. Plus two-three days on an airplane. Talk about jetleg.

I don't have as many cool pictures of London as I do the rest, even though we did do some cool stuff there. We went to see Wicked! We saw Buckingham Palace and the National Portrait Gallery (where one of our ancestors has a painting). The thing that sucked about London was that our parents lost their baggage, so we spent a lot of time worrying about that. Fortunately, they did get it back, the night before we left London. Yay.

(Currently trying to fix the photo sizes....)






Big Ben and Parliment. We took this from the London Eye. Basically, it's a big ferris wheel that slowly spins around so you can see all of London from up high.




Inside the Thistle Marble Arch, where we stayed in London. Basically, five stars. *Squeal*!



Jessie and I outside the Thistle Arch, at 4:30 in the morning when we went to leave London. On the bus allllll day.



A toilet in Amsterdam. Guess where the flush is? I only took pictures of toilets because I had a hard time sometimes figuring out where the flush button is. There was one time in the airport where you had to wave your hand over this sensor thing to get it to flush, BUT, if you waved your hand over this other sensor, the toilet bowl swiveled around. As if that will truly clean it.



This was the best one I had of Amsterdam. We were stuck in traffic for 4 hours the night before, so we didn't really get to see Amsterdam. We got there, went to our hotel, and slept, and got up really early and drove again. This was at about 8 in the morning. It doesn't get light until about 9 over there.



This is the Rhine river cruise we went on in Germany later that day.



This is the German beer I had on said cruise. Quite hoppy, but not bad.



Oooh! This is cool. This is a building that is both a church, AND a bar. The left is the bar, the right circular part is the church. Apparently the minister also the bartender.



One of the many, many castles we saw during the trip. Can't remember what this one is called, but it looks cool.



This is what the bathroom signs look like over there.



These knobbly trees were everywhere in Germany and Switzerland. What are they? They almost look like desert trees or something from the Lion King.



A toilet in Germany. Guess where the flush button is? At least this one is obvious. Also, the water was actually that colour.
