The Stolen Relics


After our little walk to Trafalgar Square we took the "tube" to the British Museum. Its that one that is always shown in movies about mummies and things of that sort. Probably because there is more of Egypt in that building then there is inside the great pyramids.

The Square


This is Trafalgar Square. We asked some guy in the square what it was for and he kinda got angry at us because we didnt know but retorted that, "its to commerate the battle of Trafalgar, not that we care anyway." English people... How Rude!!!

The King and That Building


Guy Fawks tried to blow up this building on November 5, 1605. Yeah Yeah... everyone knows that little rhyme...
Remember Remember the 5th of November
the Gun powder treason and plot,
theres no reason the gun powder treason
should ever be forgot, Guy Fawks Guy Fawks
twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament.

If you didnt know it then now you do... Its Guy Fawks day every 5th of November in England to celebrate English Monarchal Tyranny (that was sarcasum).

The Scariest Place Ever


Although I did not go inside the Tower of London I know its the scariest place ever. This is where for hundreds of years English kings tortured political rivals. Sounds bad?

The Wrong Way


If you didnt notice... the cars are on the wrong side of the road in London. How many times did I almost get run over? too many to count.

The Bridge


Tower Bridge is just one of those things you have to have your picture in front of. Its like that London thing that you have to do... So here is mine. History on the bridge: It opened in 1894 and its span is 244 ft. Its still a two lane bridge and not very effective at carrying the traffic of modern london. Anyways... I saw it.

The Gang and The Queen


This is the gang that I went around England with. This photo is infront of the "Royal Palace". Its me, Jacqueline, Scott and Katie. We stayed with Katie for 4 nights and I think by the end we were wearing on her last nerve... were not really that much into cleaning up after ourselves. It was a good trip though... I dont think Ill ever go back.
