I've been back home for about 36 hours now and have had a few people ask me if I'm glad to be home. My answer? Not really! I was thrilled to see my family, especially my nephews & niece, but my head and my heart are still somewhere on the other side of the world . . . I'm not ready to be here yet!! But with that said, my five weeks were fabulous and varied and full of memories and great stories. ... Read Full Entry

Attack of the orange pants!!

This creep and his pants followed us around that night. Quite possibly the worst pants I saw on my entire trip

Absolutely love this sculpture!

In the garden of Chester Cathedral

This one's for Suzy!

Kate inside the toy store where she and Suzy used to play as children . . . awwww, how cute!!

At least clouds make pictures look better!

Fab bridge in Chester

I heart Liverpool!!!

Me, a giant anchor, and a huge boat at Allan Dock in Liverpool

You're not seeing things; it really is that wobbly!

Oldest Tudor home in England . . . (but I could be wrong on that, so please don't yell at me, English friends!)

Frescos, shmeskos!!

Oooh, these rich people think they're so fab with their amazing frescos, solid gold rails, red carpted stairs, and crystal chandeliers. Yeah, well, I got a room that's painted red!!

One of my fave pics from the trip

At Chatsworth, long road with a sculpture at the end . . . gorgeous!

Actually, this could be my VERY fave pic from the trip!!

Buff naked man rises through the bushes into the air . . . art or erotica?!! Take your pick!

Run sheepies, run!

I'll take on a sheep over a pelican any day!

Me in wellies!!!

I asked for rubber boots, and I was looked at like I had a nose growing on my forehead! Last night in England . . . oh, rain, you and I are such great friends now!

Seriously, how did they build these things?!

More monastaries in Meteora, Greece

What does it all mean?

Get your mind out of the gutter and take it for what it is . . . a rock in the shape of a penis rising from the ground!

Krioneri

The village in its glory!

It's in the genes!

My cousin Ritsa rocks out with her students at a recital . . . and I already know that she's going to kill me for putting this pic on here!

Borough Market in London

Like a classy Costco

Inside the Tate Modern

a.k.a. home to the can of poo

Oh, the things these feet have seen!!

Mine and Nat's feet taking a ride on a double-decker bus in London!

Those are sweet robes!

Choir boys leaving Westminster Abbey

What? More champagne, you say?!!

I am so sad that this is your very last dispatch. Every blog has left me with pains in my sides because they are that funny!!! Ah, Karelia Lights...they produce the deadliest second hand smoke. No other cigarette in the world can possibly be that caustic and acrid. Like Night Train is to booze (maybe you don't have Night Train in Canada?), the Karelia brand is to smokes.

Pelicans
Oh, I forgot to add that the picture of the pelican really made my day! The pelican is the official bird of ma belle Louisiane. If it was me there I totally would have given it a hug and a fish. They are neither loud nor do they leave poop EVERYWHERE like the Canada geese do. Sorry, many a class of mine has been interrupted by the honking of Canada geese flying overhead.
