Around Europe in 31 Days!

This is the true story of three friends, finished with their dietetic internship, and traveling Europe for one last adventure before entering the real world. We don't speak anything other than English, and we've been to Europe for a total of a combined 6 days before. This should be entertaining...

I hugged JFK today...

We went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum today, and it was amazingly hilarious. I think we took about 30 pictures of us with various celebrities, in all sorts of picturesque poses. I've never been so close to Pope John Paul II before, but I'd say we're great friends now. We also trekked around Hyde Park this morning, which is just beautiful. There's an amazing monument to Princess Diana there, but instead of yet another statue, like the many that seem to be all over London, it's a water monument that is just so simple and beautiful. Kalee gave us instructions to make a very similar one for her when she dies, but only with a statue chiseled by Sandy in the area as well. Harrod's department store was so nearby Hyde Park, so we took a detour through there, and like our luck has been so far this trip, found the Diana and Dodi Memorial there too. We all felt just a tad underdressed to be walking around there when there were shirts for sale for 9000 pounds, so we got out ASAP. (9000 pounds roughly equals 18000 US dollars - quite a shirt!)

William and Harry were unfortunately NOT waiting outside Buckingham Palace for us this morning like we expected them to be, but we did see the changing of the guard, which I guess is a little more realistic anyway.

Tonight we're headed off to see The Producer's, and then it's off to Paris in the morning. I'm quite curious about this Chunnel situation. In my head it's like a roller coaster that just dips underwater real fast, but somehow I'm assuming I am not correct. I guess we'll find out in the morning!
