Euro family pictures Sunday, May 27, 2007

From Stockholm, I took a plane back to London, and then a train back to Leicester. The next day, my family flew in and visited me for about 5 days. They stayed in Leicester for a couple of days, saw uni. and city centre. We ate at a fish and chips establishment and a fast food Indian restuarant.

Then, I took them to London for the day. The following day we took the Chunnel to Paris.



*Well, you know, it wouldn't be London without them.



*This is in Leicester Square.


*Museum near Leicester Square.


*This is my brother. We're in St. James' Park, which is beside Buckingham Palace. The London Eye can be seen from here as well.




*Buckingham Palace. It wasn't that impressive, to me at least. Just really gaudy.


*Trafalgar Square at night. The big building in the background is The National Art Gallery.




*Effiel Tower!


*There were so many people that day.





*View from the Tower.


*Another view from the Tower. If you look to the center of this picture, you can see the Arc.






*Notre Dame Cathedral


*Arc de Triomphe



As I mentioned before, we were supposed to leave from London at 5:30am, but when we got to the tstation, we found out our train had been cancelled. So we had to take a later-departing train, which was slow.

We took one of those "city tour double-decker busses" around Paris. We saw a lot of things, however, becuase my dad isn't able to walk very well, we didn't actually do a lot of things.But that's alright, it was nice to just be there. (Plus I knew I was coming back later with my friends.)



The museum near Leicester Square is in fact called "Royal Academy of Arts". I used to work nearby and it's pretty cool. Hope you had a lovely time. [RockyPink] 5/27/2007 4:48:32 PM
Did you know that the fish and chips of today is not the fish and chips of 20 years ago? Fishing companies nearly fished North Atlantic Cod (the fish traditionally used in the dish) to extinction and now most likely they use Haddock, which is another kind of cod, but not nearly as nutritious. [Anton] 5/27/2007 7:25:06 PM
