My parents finally made it to England, safe and sound (well, on the 8th). This was their first time over the pond. I'm glad they got to experience the beauty and culture that the UK and Ireland has to offer!

I first met them at Heathrow Airport, and from there we began our adventure:



Aww... arn't my parents cute?? This was my THIRD time on the London Eye. Loved it. I love that stupid faris wheel. I think it's one of THE COOLEST things about London... I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy; but it's my favourite there... (P.S... if you don't know the lay out of London very well... thats Big Ben there behind my Ma)


My Daddy and I in this 'African' Garden outside of the british Museum


Warwick Castle. This was one of the best days we had. It was soooo much fun. Warwick is my absolute favourite castle. This was the second time I've been here, and it was SO much cooler than the first time I went. First, we went on this Dungeon tour thing. But they had actors inside that showed you around and showed you what they used to do to the prisoners and such...

There was also this AWESOME story teller... He told us stories about the dragon that lives under the mound at the castle. He is a professional story teller! How would you like THAT as a job??
I decided that he was soo cool, I needed a picture with him...

Stupid sword was suck in the stone... *sigh*...

This is me, pretty-ing up at Daisy's, The Countess of Warwick's, dressing table.
This Daisy character was a pretty cool chick. Ma bought a book on her, and I have started reading it. She was also VERY beautiful... Google her, if you're interested...


Aww... My Mum and I at Kew Gardens, standing on a carpet of purple flowers.

The whole reason we went to Kew Gardens was for this 'Tree Top Walk'. I was on skynews.com (as I frequently am) a few months before I was to leave for England, and read an article on it. It's basically just a walk about the trees. Very peaceful and quiet. I am on the OTHER side of the walk, taking my parents picture.

In the Butterfly House!!!! I love Butterfly Houses!
This butterfly wasn't afraid to let me pick it up and pose with him. :)


More pictures to come... once I get them uploaded onto my computer!!

Dude the butterfly you've got there is the blue morpho!! It's the most famous in Costa Rica. Cool camouflage outside wing design with fluorescent blue inside. Neat little critters they are :)
