vom Lehn Euro Extravaganza

Well, they’re on their own now, and so are we (or should I say I, since Steven’s in Helsinki?). This morning Garry, Nancy, David & Eric jetted off to Glasgow for the last five days of their European Adventure™! We did a LOT of walking, played frisbee across from Buckingham Palace, rode a narrow biddy boat up the Regent’s Canal, got caught up in an emergency evacuation from the Natural History Museum (which at first we thought was part of the Ice Station Antarctica interactive exhibit), hosted a dinner party for visitors from Brooklyn and Detroit, ate a pub lunch in the Windsor Castle’s sunny beer garden, had an, um, adventurous and exciting first day in Paris involving Gendarmes, Pompiers and NO TAXIS (it was, after all, the hottest day of the year), saw some cool art at the inside-out Centre Georges Pompidou, bought the exact same tacky souvenir... TWICE (don’t ask, but apparently came dangerously close to continuing a family legacy), saw Tour Eiffel twinklage (but left the ascent for our next visit), and enjoyed a leisurely dejuner at la Louvre. That’s the abridged version. Oh, and Olive is experiencing withdrawal from the attention and companionship of David and Eric. Check out the pics on Flickr! xx
