Anthony in Europe?????

That's right.... our son took Europe by storm and had a blast. He spent 10 days in London and Paris with 18 other classmates and 3 teachers just seeing all the sites they could see.

In his first (and only mind you) e-mail home he was telling us that he decided he was going to go completely European and not eat anything that he can have in America (i.e. McD's and Burger King). His first night was Armenian food following by authentic english good and Indian cuisine. However, he did say that a BK "Whopper" was calling to him and he just couldn't help it. I had to laugh because he also said that with most of the kids if they didn't recognize it, they wouldn't eat it. (Bottom - picture of Anthony at phone booth - no he wasn't inclined to "phone home" - lol).

The tour guide kept them busy and tired by the end of the evening. However, the teachers were telling us that they ordered pizza at midnight once in awhile because they were so wound up from the day.

On one of their first days they got a chance to see the changing of the guards at the palace. Anthony was telling us that the guards must have a real keen sense because they can tell is someone is behind them up to no good like 2 girls (not from Anthony's group) trying to mess with the fencing behind him. The guards reaction was "get away from there" without moving, blinking or anything. So Anthony just had to have his picture taken with this guard.... (Top - Anthony trying to reason with the guard - LOL).

Anth really wanted to go to the Moulin Rouge, but when they got there they found out that you had to be 18 (bummer) and in a tuxedo (men only) to get into there. Maybe next time.

Anyway.... As you can see he had a wonderful trip. I'm now making an album and shadow box with all the foreign money, pictures, tickets and such
