More pictures!

These pictures are all out of order, but here are more from the first few weeks of our trip - Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Edinburgh, and a couple in Paris. Ah, one more week left!

Mona Lisa in the Louvre. She´s behind bulletproof glass, and she´s tiny! It doesn´t help that right across from her is the largest painting in the Louvre.

This is how close we could get to the Mona Lisa. It was just a mess of people crowding around for a picture.

Ali carrying Sarah´s backpack in Edinburgh´s airport when Sarah was sick.

Reading and eating in a cute little cafe in Edinburgh.

Abbey Road in London! I saw this on one of the days we went off separately to explore, but if the girls were with me, we probably would´ve been like the rest of the tourists getting shots of us walking across, swinging our arms...

Lounging in St. James Park, briefly. Some guy soon came by asking for money, because these lawn chairs are not free. So we got up and left.

Our English breakfast - eggs, sausage, bacon (really just ham), beans and toast.



The 3 of us in front of Westminster Abbey.

The climate change protest at Parliament. "Change the politics, save the climate." We watched them just climb up there with ladders and harnesses, and no one bothered to stop them. They did get arrested once they came down, apparently.

Quite possibly the most amazing fries we ever had, the Vlaamse Frites in Amsterdam. Good find, Sarah.

Bike lanes and bike lights all over in Amsterdam, definitely the most bike-friendly city.

In Amsterdam - I think we were sitting near the canal by our apartment.

In the Red Light District. It was pouring that day and we were freezing, when all we wanted to do was gawk at all the women in the windows!

Ali and me at the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam (the old brewery), enjoying one of our samples. I think we had just learned about the importance of foam.

Amsterdam still - Sarah, staring at the pigeons, probably contemplating getting closer. Ali, backing far, far away from the pigeons.

I think this was our first Doner Kebab experience in Berlin! Thank you, David, for reccomending them!
