These are photographs of our 2004 trip to England and France. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. The National Anthem of the United Kingdom is now playing.
Train station in Wellingborough. The yellow fields along the way as we traveled from the south of London to Derby, England. Our hostess Brenda, and Donna relaxing in the living room. The eatery where we had a very good meal with Phil & Brenda. Here we are with our hosts Brenda & Phil. We are getting ready to sample our desserts. The road above their home. It's about 5:30 am. An unused gate next to the road. The view most would miss if they are motoring by. Further up the road, the restaurant where we had that great supper. The train no longer runs here. The train station is now a residence. Yes, but it could warn you about women pickpockets! Morning Frolic. These two were plenty feisty when I went by. Yes, even the Toads have the right away occasionally. Interesting chimneys abound in the area. The Flowers were coming into bloom just for us. Little Eaton is a very nice community. Brenda's Basket.
France. Montmartre area. Full of artists as well as tourists. The art was very good. Samples from the different artists. Very nice for the Kitchen. Oo, la la. Cross streets create their own art. The cobble stone street. Stores around Montmartre. Arc de Triomphe. Napoleon had a lasting legacy. Every angle provides a beautiful view. Alone the Champs Elysées upscale shops abound. The Obélisque, and Egyptian obelisk, that is about 3000 years old. Notre-Dame de Paris. There is a large open area in front of the church. Interesting way to get your attention. Yes, we J-walked to get this photo. Need an extra large suitcase? England. Naturally you can not go to London without seeing Big Ben, so, I just sat there letting everyone take my picture. A short stop in Harrods can be very expensive. Buckingham Palace and the changing of the Guards. Even the animals get into the act. No. 10 Downing street is now unavailable to tourists. Guards do take their jobs seriously. This fellow stays here for an hour or two then gives the horse a break. Trafalgar Square just ahead. There are four of these massive Lions at Trafalgar Square as well as fountains and other statues. Stay tuned for future adventures of Donna & Ben! Copyright (c) 2000 - 2012 B. Lanza
