Finland

Finland was very cool.
We made our way into town after a long, but pretty walk

We passed by the Russian Embassy, which was grand and beautiful

We later passed through a marketplace which was really neat!

Then there was a really beautiful church on top of a hill





This is where the Olympics was sometime in the 80s, you could definitely tell.

Theres a church under there! Can you believe it?!





This monster thing was adorable!

Germany

Our next stop was Berlin, Germany.
We took a 3 hour train ride into Berlin. Fun stuff.
When we got there we wandered around and saw a bunchhhh of things.

This is a Holocaust Memorial


Then met Patricia, Elizabeth and Maywood at Checkpoint Charlie

We had lunch and had real german sausages. It was good!
Liz and I were being goofballs

Mom and Patricia in front of the Berlin Wall

After that, they had to catch their train back and we continued exploring

England

This trip was fantastic
I figure I would write about each place every day to avoid overwhelming!
Our flight was long, but soooo worth it!
We stayed at this place called Imperial College and we stayed in a dorm room
It was pretty nice, perfect for us.
 One night the fire alarm went off and everyone had to go down stairs, it was prettty interesting!
Here is a picture out front, looking down the street.
We stayed near Royal Albert Hall (which you can see in the picture on the right)
Here is a photo of the College
I absolutely love the architecture in England.
This is the Tower of London. It was just about to rain

Denmark

The first stop on our cruise was Copenhagen, Denmark.
B-EE-UTIFUL
I loved it.
Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid Statue was the first thing we saw.

We had a light walk into town, where we saw the fantastic picture spot that you see in travel magazines.

It was fantastic! We continued with our walk and saw how awesome this town was.

We kept seeing this thing that looked it was from the little mermaid. Turns out it was connected to a church.

Here is more of us being cute

Mom with Hans

This made me laugh

Weird to me that kids would be playing on this.

I really liked Denmark, there were so many cute buildings!
