Our Trip to Europe

Wes and I took a two week vacation to Europe this summer and visited London and Paris.

Here are some of the highlights from our trip:

London -
London Eye
The Tube (riding it on the 2nd year anniversary of the London underground bombing)
House of Parliament
Buckingham Palace
Watching the first day of the Tour de France in Hyde Park
Hyde Park (walking in all of the parks was cool, but Hyde was the best)
Sitting 4th row at the Dirty Dancing show
Celebrating the 4th of July in another country at a carnival on a US air force base
Tower of London and the Tower Bridge
Eating at Nando's after going to two pubs at a Meetup social (met some great people from a tech startup in London called Trexy)
Kensington Gardens/Palace
The Swans trying to attack me in the park
Piccadilly Circus
Salvador Dali Museum

Paris -
Eiffel Tower
Gothic style churches/buildings
Going to a British Pub in France called The Princess and the Frog
Notre Dame
The Louvre
People with Mullets
Climbing up the Arc De Triumph
Shopping along Champs-Elysees
Playing around at the Renault racing shop
Seeing the French air force planes fly over us (thinking that it was the US coming to attack France, hehe)
Eating Mc D's in Paris (because that was the only place open to eat when we arrived late Sunday night)
All the cars parked on the sidewalks in Paris
Seeing fireworks and some crazy Gilles marching and playing music the night before Bastille Day
