European Travels

  We started our trip in Paris with iconic and triumphant sites
 
 
 

Not shown:  our run in with the metro police after mistakenly throwing away our paper ticket moments before the ticket checkers were checking them...

We got to see our dear friends in Brussels and Aachen, Germany (which involved many pillow/cushion fights) -- and also completed a labrynth where 3 different countries meet (the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany)




 

We rode several forms of public transportation in London, Milan's favorite tourist activity (plus:  high speed trains through the chunnel)


Kirin acquired a pair of binoculars at the London Eye that also allowed him to examine the tube up close


 
The Bank of England museum offered a nice illustration of how monetary policy impacts inflation

We timed our visit to the Tower Bridge to see it open for a boat below
