tours, phones, and uh-oh
Hello! This is my new post!
Day 10: We went on a walking tour on a rainy and miserable day, It was awesome despite the rainy weather and I learned a lot! now at the end it got really interesting. It started when I needed to go to the bathroom. When we crossed an easily excessable bathroom, I couldn't pass it up, after telling the guide me and mom ducked out of the tour and she waited for me as I went, however, the tour moved a little bit faster than we had inticipated. By the time I was done, they were out of site. Luckily mom new the next stop so we asked where it was, and found the group, but thats not all. Dad and joey Had left to start looking for us. We did not have cell phones, we did not have a meeting point, we had no way of meeting up. Me and Mom knew that Dad and Joey knew that the end point was the park so we walked back and fourth until we saw Dad, then we walked back, and all was well.

Stacked stones, ruins, baths, and Dublin
Day 6: We went to stone henge. It was great. I thought I was'nt going to like it that much but I did It was so big had had something about it that was so cool.
After that we went to an old castle.
And then we went to Salsbury, a nice little town, I was hoping to watch Jurassic park but they had no rental places so we went to some thrift stores. I got lucky and found both the second book and the movie!
Day 7: We went to bath, in case you don't know it is an ancient temple with pools that are naturally heated and Greeks bathed in them a long time ago.
Day 8: Flew to Dublin, Ireland. We are staying in an apartment with a nice family, and a exquisite movie collection. We just rested and chatted it up all day.
Day 9: Rested again, walked around a little bit, Dublin is pretty normal, however, I didn't walk around that much so I can't say anything more, watched a movie, not too exciting.
Today: Wait for the next post!

Dinosaurs, Wax, And Steven Spielberg
Ok! Here is a recap of my Europe trip so far:
Day 1: Arrived, we boarded the plain around seven and arrived in Europe around noon, I watched loads of movies on the plain, but towards the end I was dead... at least I felt dead. The place we stayed at was nice, it was a small house owned by an eighty year old British lady that drove like a maniac, she cooked great meals which saves us lots of money.
Day 2: Walked around London, A busy place with a lot of personality! We went to the British museum, Tons of mummys, pots, statues, and some other stuff, it was pretty awesome, then we we to the wax museum and the real Steven Spielberg was there!
No, just kidding, he was wax (sigh). So that was cool, and then we went to a big park but did not stay long.
Day 3: Walked around London again. Saw the Parliament buildings, It was huge!!!!, saw Big Ben, It was huge!!!!, saw London bridge, It was huge!!!!, anyway, thats day 3
Day 4: Slower day, went to a pretty good church, It was very nice and very welcoming, overall very nicely done, later we went on a hike, relaxed and read, ate, slept, and that brings us to day five
Day 5: Packed up and left, arrived at a great new place with nice people, great food, nice house, later we went Avesbury which is a place kind of like stone henge, one of those ancient rocks in a circle, but the also have a lot of cool old houses from medieval times.
Today: Finished Jurrasic Park (great book two eaten-by-a-Dinosaur thumbs up). Went to town.
Tommorow we will be going to Stone Henge.
Good bye!

We went to SeaWorld again on the 29th I got soked on the flume ride, but I guess I got what I deserved seeing as I went on it four times.
And today we arrived at our next house, i'll get back to you on that one.

Day 4 to 7
So on Friday we went arrived in Killeen, Texas, its a very nice free place, they gave us there entire basement with drinks and food included, they are very nice, and a dog named Copper (seen in pictures of the week).
On Saturday we went to fort hood, the largest military installation in the northern hemisphere and no, i do not understand half of the words I just wrote, anyway, it's a big huge city-like thing for soldiers to live in, we went with cliff (one of the Texans we are staying with), he is doctor for the military so it was easy to get in. Once we were in we visited a free, very well done museum, after that we saw all of the tanks and helicopters and stuff.
On Sunday we went to Austen, Texas and walked around for a couple hours and ate some Tex-Mex.
And today (Monday), we went shooting down by the river bank, I shot with a flippin' twelve gauge, actually I Sot with a nine mm and a glock, I wasn't very good but Mom was intense, seriously, she hit closer to the bulls eye with the glock than anyone else, anyway, were probably going to leave about now. I'm going to post the gun pictures next friday in pictures of the week.

Day 4
We dove about three hours today, were going to stay in killeen, Texas for four days so that will be nice to get a break from all the driving. Today we looked around Dallas, Texas on our way from Denton, it was very cool, ill post some pictures, we also saw the sixth floor museum, it was a museum all about the assassination of JFK. The cool part was that the place they made the museum was on the same floor, on the same building that Lee Harvey Oswald shot him, they even preserved the section that Oswald stood and aimed. So that was pretty interesting, after that we just walked around, and then kept driving.

Day 1 to 3
Driving.
So we woke up early Monday morning, packed up, and left. The first day was twelve hours, second day was eight hours, and today we decided to stop after only about three hours in Denton, Texas. It's about eighteen degrees so we went for a walk (moms bright red CANADA T-shirt ablaze). We also stopped and an animal sanctuary, it was pretty cool.
Anyway, were going to get groceries now
