Big Ben and the Parliment building along the Thames.
So as the offical last entry of my time in Europe, I decided to throw some pictures up of my time traveling after Rome with my brother Ben. We spent 5 days in London and then rented a car and went to Ireland for 5 days.

Some of the hilights include, but are not limited to:

-seeing Wicked live in the London Theatre District
-Going up on the London Eye
-Walking aloing the Thames
-Seeing the Tower Bridge, Tate Modern Gallery, National Gallery, Trafalger Square, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and most of everything else that we 'should have'
-Eating a typical meat "pie" and drinking lots of good beer at pubs in both countries
-Visiting Oxford for a day (including eating at the pub where C.S. Lewis/G.K. Chestertin/J.R. Tolkin would meet)
-Ben driving on the left hand of the road and nearly killing us in Ireland
-Seeing the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren (a huge area of land that is unexposed rock)
-Seeing Ballybunion golf couse (a golf magazine's top 10)
-Driving around the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula
-Ben and I realizing that 5 days is about our time together limit 😊

the Burren...I think it translates to big-ass rock, which is basically what Ireland is, beautiful as it is!
