Martha on one of the old El trains - it's called a Woody becuase it's made of wood. They can't run these in the subway tunnels.

The fountain at the Cultural Centre. The Cultural Centre is where all the museums are. I saw a great exhibit on Aborigines.

The Commissariat Store, which was convict-built. Apparently, Brisbane was the prison you got sent to if you were too bad for Sydney. I had a guided tour, and I was the only person on my tour. The guide said I ask very precise questions.

I just liked these old buildings.

Leslie, leading the second line.

My dad, giving a toast. And standing without a cane!

Doing the cake pull. This is a special New Orleans wedding tradition where they bake charms into the bottom layer of the cake, and then make single girls pull them out (they are attached to ribbons). The charm is supposed to tell your future. I got the anchor, which I thought meant I was going to meet a sailor, but apparently means "hope."

Cutting the cake. Which was chocolate and delicious, by the way.

The cake.

Father Joe and Andrew. Father Joe is an Episcopalian bishop, and Leslie's godfather. He did the ceremony. Andrew is his son. (can't you tell?)

Recoletta Cemetery, Buenos Aires

2008-04-02T14:30:00.004-04:00

Evita's tomb

This is a really, really cool cemetery. Except the second time we went, we smelled someone dead. That was possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever smelled.

Buenos Aires

2008-04-02T14:22:00.003-04:00

This is obviously a church, but I can't remember where or which one! But it's pretty, no?

Three Borders

2008-04-01T15:19:00.002-04:00

This is an area where you can stand in Argentina, and see Paraguay (here)...
and Brazil (here).
And me. Apparently, in Brazil and Paraguay they have similar little monuments set up.

Iguazu Falls

2008-04-01T14:38:00.011-04:00

Iguazu Falls is right on the border of Brazil and Argentina. It's really beautiful, but I have a feeling the pictures are self-explanatory, so just take a look. I was unable to get too close to the really big falls as the height was too much for me to take, so I'll have to wait for Michael's pictures to see what it actually looked like!

See the rainbow?

This is me, in the shade.

I think my camera got a little wet from the waterfall spray here.
Me again. It was hot. I look hot and tired.

Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay

2008-04-01T13:28:00.009-04:00

View of Colonia from a rooftop at sunset.
These are old ruins of a Franciscan monastery, and a lighthouse was built around them. It was night when we visited, so my photos didn't turn out great.

I liked this weather vane.

Rio de la Plata, in between Uruguay and Argentina. We took the ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia.

Cacti!

A pretty mosaic.

Colonia was built as a fort by Portuguese settlers. This is part of the fort.

The lighthouse.

A corner shop.
This was on the wall of an abandoned building.
Colonia is well-known for having old cars all over the place. This one had a tree growing out of it.

I liked the way the laundry looked on the line.
More old cars!

The river by day. It's very muddy, and the color looks like chocolate milk.

Buenos Aires Zoo

2008-03-31T17:55:00.009-04:00

Polar bear

Lake in the entry to the zoo
This was part of a weird exhibit on dragons in what appeared to be old cages.
These were free range! Does anyone know what they are, though?

Baby ducks
This was a really cool building, but it was all closed and boared up.

Lemurs!

Pygmie hippo.

La Boca - Buenos Aires

2008-03-31T16:54:00.006-04:00

La Boca is a neighborhood in Buenos Aires. The houses are very colorful because they were painted with leftover boat paint. Allegedly it's not very safe at night, but we went during the day, and it was full of tourists and we didn't have any problems.

La Boca is right near the old shipyard. I think this was some part of a boat. I can't remember why it's significant, though!
La Caminita.

Protests in Buenos Aires

2008-03-31T16:38:00.005-04:00

On Thursday night, the president of Argentina gave a speach that was broadcast on, like, every tv channel we had in the hotel. We don't really know what the speach was about, except workers' rights of some sort. Friday, we walked past the Casa Rosada (government house) and there were these protest words painted all over the place, plus tons of police.

Copenhagen

2008-03-04T05:12:00.005-05:00

Rosenberg Slot, which is a castle. I saw the Danish crown jewels here. As you can see the weather was sub-optimal on this trip, but I do like this photo as it's a bit Hamlet-esque in my opinion.
Same castle, less "dark and stormy night."

St Albans Church near Churchill Park.
I so totally cannot remember the name of this church, but it's famous and really pretty inside. I sat in there for a while, listening to organ pratice and avoiding the torrential downpour outside.
Cute houses and boats!

Ducks in Churchill Park
Windmill in Churchill Park
Churchill Park ramparts.

The Tivoli. This is a famous amusement park in Copenhagen. Because it was winter, though, it was closed so this is the closest I got to it.
City Hall.

Vienna

2008-02-25T04:08:00.009-05:00

Karlskirche
Inside Karlskirche. It was amazingly beautiful in there, but I didn't want to take too many pictures as there were people praying.
They are repairing the ceiling frescos at Karlskirche. You can even take an elevator up for a panoramic view. Because of my fear of heights, I didn't do this!

Window at Stephendom. (Cathedral of St Stephen)
Stephendom
Horse carriages outside of Stephendom. I liked that they were wearing ear warmers, which you can especially see on the white horse with the red ear warmers.

The famous Vienna Opera House.
Toilet inside the Opera metro stop. I don't know if you can read the sign, but it says "With Music!" and there was music playing from the room. Also, it's wallpapered with a design that looks like the Opera House boxes.
Stephendom

I have no idea why this guy is walking a little horse but it was cute!
Sacher torte. Yum...

I cannot get away from American exports! TGIFriday's. I did not go in!
Ice skating rink at Karl Johans Gate. It seemed to be free - bring your own skates.
National Theatre.

This was right next to my hotel! The New Orleans restaurant. I was a bit curious to see a Norwegian interpretation of New Orleans cuisine, but alas, they did not have a menu posted. They did, however, have all kinds of Mardi Gras stuff up.
Norwegian Parliment building.

Door of Norwegian Parliment building - I just thought it was pretty.

Castles and Churches in France

2007-09-24T13:23:00.000-04:00

The Chateau of Amboise. We didn't get to go in since I had a train to catch but I did think it looked lovely from the outside.
Chenonceau Chateau. We visited on Sunday. I want to move in.
Sebastien (holding baby Guillaume) and Sophie at Chenonceau.
Chenonceau spans a river. One of the best parts is boats used to come up underneath it with supplies for the kitchen.

Another interesting fact is that during World War 2, the front of the castle was in occupied France, and the back in free France. So you could enter through the front and sneak out the back. Like a spy. So cool.
Baby Guillaume in his stroller. He does not look too happy here.

Me in front of a church in Poitiers. It was Notre Dame de something... Sophie was supposed to give me the town map so I would remember the names but we forgot. Inside, it was really cool. The pillars were painted, which is not something you see everyday.
Cathedral at Poitiers. Remember what I said about not being the best photographer?

Brussels, Paris, and Breda

2007-04-10T21:52:00.000-04:00

Some kind of arch built by King Leopold, I think. Sorry, I am not doing so well with remembering details of this trip.
I went on this Art Nouveau walking tour that was in my guidebook. I know you can't see it very well, but this house had really pretty windows.
And this house is really cool. It's the Maison Paul Gauchie and I really loved it. I wish I lived in it.
Close-up.
Remember when I went to the Stars of Europe concert? This was the stage.
This is a cathedral right by my hotel that I walked past everyday to get to work. I did go in one day - it was pretty. I think it's called St Giles and St Michel.
This was my dinner one night... yum.
Notre Dame in Paris on a grey and rainy day.
We kept seeing men in kilts that day in Paris... we didn't know why.
I have never seen this fountain (St Michel) without a crowd in front of it, so I took a picture! Apparently rain + Sunday morning = people do not go hang out in front of St Michel Fountain. This is also in Paris.
I met Robert in Breda, in the Netherlands, one Saturday. We visited this place. I honestly can't remember what it's called... Robert? The Bagganage? It's where semi-nuns lived a religious life. We went to the museum and everything, and it was really fascinating. Although neither one of us knows what "home care" means.
Anyway, these semi-nuns (they took vows but they aren't quite nuns for some reason) lived in this lovely courtyarded building as a community.
Now, the lovely courtyarded community is inhabited by women, who are not necessarily religious, but they are single.
A very cute little house in the lovely courtyard. We weren't really sure but maybe this is where the priest lived.
Grand Place. This was very near my hotel.

A plague graveyard. It had carvings all along the wooden beams.

St Joan of Arc Church

This is the spot where Joan of Arc was burned. Somehow I doubt it had all those flowers then.

The light show at the Cathedral. They used Monet's paintings of this cathedral as their inspiration for the light show.

Our first night in Brussels, we were eating dinner on a patio. All of a sudden, there was a parade going by! It was some national holiday of Belgium... the waiter told me it is to remember farmers from the 13th Century. So the parade is a bunch of people in Middle Ages type clothes.

Rubens's house in Antwerp.

Me in Antwerp. I can't remember what this statue is!

Bikes parked outside of the train station in Antwerp.

Manneken pis. Why is this a famous statue/fountain? I have no idea. But they even have little outfits to dress him in.

Brussels. The skyline. It was an incredibly gloomy day, and it poured for most of it.

This is the Palace of Justice in Brussels. At least according to the woman walking her dog.

Me and Mandy in Brussels. It was freezing that day! I had to buy that pink sweater since I didn't bring any long sleeves with me.
