Ho there blogites! It’s been hard to find time to write as my internet time is scattered and we’ve been working 12 hour days. Well…sometimes those last couple hours are spent at the pub, but the day is stressful sometimes and hey…we deserve those 2 hours of pub work. So last time I wrote I Read More »
London day 2. We started off at the Tower of London. So cool imaging how it was a working castle. The Beefeaters were funny. The crown jewels were incredible. One staff had a 538 carat diamond! I snuck some pictures. The King’s armor was so big. How did they fight? We then went to St Read More »
Friday, September 21st, 2007 Good day ladies and gents! The Jewel Tower is a medieval tower (so cool, I know!!) built c. 1365 to house Edward III’s treasures. It’s our third day in England and I’m already so in love with the country! The British phrases are super cute. Here’s some of my newly acquired Read More »

We didn’t have any problems adjusting Read More »
We checked out of our hotel in Paris earlyish and made our way to the airport. As we were checking in we ran into a Canadian couple from Invermere who were traveling around Europe on their honeymoon.

I woke up at 12:00 PM today because it was so gloomy outside. It was cold, my heater wasn’t working properly and I didn’t want to get out of bed. I eventually made myself a sandwich from the groceries I bought yesterday. Geeze it was a horrible sandwich for lunch. And for dinner as well. Read More »
Yunnan Province KUNMING (capital city of 4 million people) Yes we’ve arrived safely in China, and so far going very well. We left Hanoi last Friday morning, walked about 1km to the Vietnam Airlines bus in the city – we were novelty viewing for most of the locals, to observe two “old” westerners with white Read More »
