England and more

Links to pictures: here

England is friggen sweet. I would totally move here. London has to be one of the best cities I've ever been to for someone my age. The nightlife looked (yeah, looked) like it rocked. I'd love to come back and hit some of the bars. I bet they'd rule.

So we meant to head to France today on a Ferry but the weather wouldn't allow it. So we spent another day here and we checked out Bath. Its the home of these Roman bath houses that existed when the Roman Empire spread to this island. It was pretty tight. I've never seen so much influence regarding the Roman Empire before. It was cool. Maybe in Spain and such we will see more.

Other things we saw in England included Jessica Simpson in "Chicago", the London Eye, one of those Red double decker busses, Parlament and the Big clock connected to that (apparently its erroneously called "Big Ben"), their nice train system. We had a few long rides on that. It was nice. Saw Salisbury (Steak) Cathedral, St. Paul's Cathedral (way cool), cute british accents, Beefeaters (not so still), the Queen's Castle (Winchester or something), Stonehenge and more.

Anyway, we are off to France. We are taking an overnight ferry to Caen which is near Normandy. We are gonna do that whole thing tomorrow then hop an early afternoon train to Paris, then another night train to Barcelona. It'll be tight. I still want to do the French wine with a Baguette when I get there. It'll rule I'm sure! With all that night travelling we will be Le Tired so we might need a nap.
