London: A Travelers Haven

Well, we have made it to London and are having the time of our lives! This city mixes the perfect blend of culture, history and tourists! According to calculations, we walk about 5 miles a day~ Almost enough to see all of the city! We have found the food to be a bit bland, causing Laura to have a fit of home sickness, but luckily we found a pub close to the British Museum where we ordered burgers and beers for a few pounds, and that seemed to do the trick, fueling us to move onward in our journey as vagabonds! We stopped by Harrod's, the famous London department store only to discover that Dior gowns were not in our budget, so we decided to take a night sight seeing bus, which turned out to be a great idea as it enabled us to cover virtually every square mile of the city that we couldn't reach on foot. Our hostel is quite fun, and we have an amazing view of Big Ben and the Eye of London (see below for pic!) While we have been enjoying ourselves, according to our itinerary we have one day left in England, and this will be spent at Stonehenge tomorrow- where we will take the mega bus for a few pounds each and tour for the day. (Don't worry, we will post those pics too!) But for now our photos of London will have to do~ until next time,


Cheerio,


Laura and Eric

Life is what happens while your making other plans...

Picture this: Husband and wife, driving across the country in a rented SUV, packed with everything the two of them own, apart for a few things left with Grandma. Two pullovers, one doctors visit, and 3000 miles later, they end up in Keene New Hampshire, holed up for a few days so the new wife can get over her well deserved ear infection before embarking on the trip of a lifetime. Fast forward to the present, we are now in Ireland, trucking around Dublin, meeting Irish people at every turn, throwing back a few Guinness. Well, not the beer yet, its only 11:30 AM. So far, we have seen the Irish Post Office, O'Connolly Street, Trinity College, Dublin Castle, Bank of Ireland, and are heading to Christ Church and the National Museum. Next stop, Scotland! The adventure has begun, stay tuned for pictures and videos. They are coming soon! Eric and Laura

Rome - Another Day, Another Gellato Flavor

Image
Rome was a very enchanting city. With quite a history, there was lots to see and do, and by the third day of exploring the city, we were pooped. To start from the beginning, we departed Florence in the afternoon, and enjoyed the short trip to Rome. We got to see a bit more of the Italian countryside, which looks a lot like southern California. It is covered with red tile buildings, vineyards, and olive groves though, with of course, the occasional castle. No more mountains though...we left those in northern Italy. That night, we had arranged to stay in a small private bed and breakfast. The owner was late though, so Laura ran out for some pizza and coke. Turned out to be some of the best pizza of the trip. No tomato sauce, just cheese spinach, sausage and dough. So good though. Eric caught up with the bed and breakfast owner, and we were led inside to a place with marble floors and antique furnishings. They provided Espresso every morning and croissants, but no internet. There was a re...
