It seemed as though yesturday we ran out of things we wanted to do. We went to St. Pauls Cathedral in the morning, but that took very little time. I was also irritated that I paid £9 and I couldnt take pictures. But the church is amazing and truly stunning. We walked quite a distance to the London Zoo. It was a typical zoo. Not very crowded, luckily. But oh how I love small children with British accents who use words like anti-climactic and obstruction. La...

It finally cooled down in London. Thanks to the rain that we prayed for. Yesturday we toured the Tower of London. Very eery. Saw some sweet jeweled crowns. I definitely think that place has power. You can feel it in some of the rooms. Went out with Frank and his friend last night. Had lots of fun. Stayed out entirely too late. Rach and I both managed to lock each other out of the room when we got back. Long story... and I cant remember most of it. ...

I had to be paying attention to the take off and landing.... When we were about to lan...

Italy has officially become my favorite country, thanks to Venice. Ive wanted to come here my entire life. It was the one place that I wanted to see before I died, and I'm so glad that we are here. Again, I wish we had more time. Yesturday morning we visited the Uffizi Museum, which was definitely one of the best art museums we have seen. They have an extensive Da Vinci exhibit going on. It also contain the works of Botticelli "Birth of Venus"(a little disap...

Florence continues to amaze us and I wish we had more time here. Yesturday a lot of things were closed (again). We visited Museo del Bargello in the morning, which holds almost nothing but artifacts and primarily, sculptures. The whole purpose of that visit was to see Donatellos "David". It is... smaller than I thought it would be. But it is bronze and stunning none the less. We ate more pizza at a wine bar and then visited the Duomo church. All I have to say is ...
