August 11: pictures part 2

2:23 a.m. August 13th... I was on a roll posting all these pictures when Tom came in and informed me that his uncle and a bunch of other family members wanted to make a toast to my birthday (which isn´t until the 18th)... they were just looking for an excuse to drink more shooters and it worked. After we toasted me, we toasted some Kings and then all the beautiful women of Poland and.... they just don´t stop. So 2 hours later I esaped and am back trying to post while feeling a little fuzzy. But at least all the Spanish is making more sense. :)

A close up of the hall wallpaper at the Hotel Europa--the blue is like velour, very fuzzy. Big Ben and adjoining buildings.

Where´s Tom? Somewhere in front of the ferris wheel that takes one hour to go completely around, giving a great view of London. Nelson´s Column in Trafalger Square--Tom getting friendly with a lion.
Splash splash! Tom and Ola at the central fountain in Trafalgar Square.
A fountain in Trafalgar Square--and a new take on mermen, if you can see their feet.The side of St. Paul´s Cathedral
One of the front towers of St. Paul´s Cathedral. Ola and Ryzard both prayed in one of the rooms, and it was very moving, if I imagine believing in something so strongly and then being inside one of the greatest tributes to my belief.


Tom and a weird egg-shaped building. We still don´t know what it is. Krista and Ola in front of Adam and Eve--the sign is really neat.
Ola and 2 bobbys. :)
Krista with the bridge near the tower of London in the distance.
Statue of a lion that I believe was close to Big Ben, but on the other side of the Thames.
