Kevin and Amber: Europe 2006

We are two high school English teacher who have recently become engaged. This is our first trip to Europe and we are both very excited. Kevin is most looking forward to the British Library (and the US World Cup game) and will miss Qdoba the most while he is gone. Amber is looking forward to the Globe Theatre and will miss ice in her drinks.

England Wins!

It's Kevin. We just returned from watching England beat Trinidad and Tobago 2-0. It was a blast watching it in a London Pub packed with England fans. It was standing room only, but we had a table, b/c we arrived about an hour before gametime. Apparently, it is quite fashionable to wear a flag as a cape or even around your waist. I will have to factor this in to my UK apparel.

We did a lot today, including actually spotting the Queen of England as she left Buckingham Palace in a motorcade. We toured Westminster Abbey, we saw the highlight of Chevy Chase's "European Vacation" (Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament!), and even rode the London Eye, which pretty darn cool.

The only problem is we have had about 8 hours of combined sleep over the past few days, so it is going to be an early night.
