Last Post Abroad: Paris!

Hello everyone, I guess all good things must come to an end eventually. Tonight is my last night here in Europe (Paris). My flight is early in the morning and I get back around nighttime on Thursday. But, I have taken some cool photos of Paris, which I hope you all enjoy!

Eiffel Tower from a distance

Long view of the Champs d' Elysee (sorry for the bad spelling) 

Arc d' Triomphe!

Views from my walk to the Louvre:

The Louvre!

Found the Mona Lisa (surprisingly small!)

Then I went on to visit Notre Dame!

Very cool cathedral!

And finally a nice view of Paris from one of the canals, it is a beautiful city!

And that's all she wrote, folks. This is the end, thank you for reading along as I have been traveling, and thank you for all the support you have given me to keep this blog up and running. For those new to the blog, you can go back and check out all the places I've been with all the photos I've taken! It's been a great time Europe, but it's time to come home! Adios, and stay classy!

London Adventures

Hey everyone! I'm still here in London, and won't be leaving until the morning of the 19th for my final destination, Paris. I've taken more photos of the city here, and I sincerely hope you enjoy them all. It's been a real blast staying here, England is a really cool place, except for the cloudy weather 24/7!

I made a little stop at Buckingham Palace, unfortunately the queen wasn't in so I couldn't drop in to say hello.. 

The guards there wear these really neat furry hats, so retro!

After Buckingham Palace, I ventured to some memorials near Hyde Park

And then I went on to visit Hyde Park, a really awesome open park where people just sit down and chill by trees or in open fields, definitely one of my favorite places here!

Hyde Park really makes for some great walking as you can see, if you are ever in London I highly recommend that you go!

Then the next day I visited a few museums.. Including the Natural History Museum,

This is an extinct giant sloth that used to be on the Earth.. Yes. That's a sloth.

And then I went to the British Museum!

Really cool museums overall.. And today I finally went to the town of Greenwich, which was a nice change of pace from the hectic pace of the city! There was also a pretty cool park there..

And that's all for now, but stay tuned for the next and most likely the final update from Paris in a few days. It's sad to know this journey is coming to a close, but it's also time to get back to sunny California! Thanks all, and stay classy!

London Calling

Hey everyone! This is my second day and London and I'm having a real blast, the sights are cool and the city is a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure it's going to be impossible to run out of things to do! I've taken a lot of photos already, and here they are so far: 

Big Ben up close!

Statue of Oliver Cromwell in front of parliament:

Cool canal running by Parliament 

And then I started taking photos of Parliament from across the river because on the same side there were a ton of people and it was really hard to take photos!

Really pretty views..

I moved on a bit and encountered something cool: police officers on horses!

Pretty old school if you ask me..

Then I moved on to the London Eye! What an awesome time, you can see all of London from up top and the ride lasts quite a while.. Just look how the views progress!

So you can see that the views get pretty vast!

It was a ton of fun, I highly recommend it!

And that was the majority of my day, but as a little surprise I stopped by a really famous cookie shop in London called Ben's Cookies and tried the double chocolate chunk.. It was very evil!

And that's all for today folks, stay tuned for my next update from London, which should be in the next couple days or so! Expect even cooler pictures of even more sights! Thanks, and stay classy!
