Breakfast was a small baguette, orange juice, and "chocolate" (asked in French by a lady...we heard the key word chocolate and said "oui"). We then travelled by train to Versailles where we skipped the long ticket lune because earlier we had bought a museum pass. The place was incredibly lavish, as the rumors and pictures show. The "Sun King" definately spent quite a pile of money on statues, lush rooms, giant mirrors, and a spectacularly (and still well-kept) g...

We have made it Paris! (Pronounced: P-air-y). Getting here was a little hectic however. When we arrived at the London train station, we realized the ticket was dated for the day before. Worried, we rushed to the ticket service and told a lady our dilemma. She talked to her manager but was told we had to purchase new tickets worth 130 British pounds each. That's about $200 per person! Very expensive! Sad, one sister started to tear up and excused herself. Needle...

Yesterday was more of a resting day from the long concert experience. So, we slept in a bit then took the Tube to Regents Park to read in the shade and sun (depending on how cold or hot we would get). Next we went to the gigantic British Museum. It was almost information-overload, so we picked a few of the rooms that sounded most interesting to us. In the European history rooms, we would look at the beautiful (and expensive!) jewelry and try to guess each oth...

Today was filled with only to events bit easily became one of the best days of our lives (at least for one sister, Constanza). Our fist event was mass. However, our readers should know which mass was attended. Originally we went to St. Paul's but once we discovered it was an Anglican mass we decided it would be best to leave. Luckily, a lady handing out the mass pamflets, which we didn't bother reading till after the service had begun, told us which red double-d...

We started the morning off with the tourist-filled Tower of London. Rocío was most impressed by the age os some of the inscriptions done by prisoners during the 1600's while Constanza thought the castle are was huge. Afterwards, we went to a tea shop for a cup of "afternoon tea" and a delicious fresh scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam. From there we found a small farmer's market and tried some bread samples and strawberry juice samples. We then passed...
