I see England, I see France

Thankfully, though, the underpants remained out of sight for the most part.

I should have blogged this a month ago, when Ally and I got back from our trip to England and France (and Belgium for a few hours), but you know how I put things off.

Anyway, the trip was really fun. I think Ally’s favorite part was when we were looking at a menu outside a restaurant in Paris and the owner came out to talk to us. When I replied “bon soir” to his greeting, he looked at me and said, “You’re not French, are you?” It’s kind of discouraging that he could tell from two words. I’ll have to work on my accent.

The weather was cold and drizzly most of the time, kind of like Seattle at this time of year. But that didn’t keep us from walking all over the place. We both had some nice blisters on our feet by the end of the second week.

We were glad Paul could meet up with us a couple of nights in London and then in Bath so we could visit with our little bro for awhile. Plus, he just makes everything more fun with his quirky comments and good humor.

I didn’t take quite as many pictures as Ally did, but here’s a sampling of what I got:
