On the ship, it was kind of weird. Like how it was as if all the passengers are first class, and we were in the cheapest room!
Also it was kind of strange eating at a fancy restaurant all the time for the first few days until I realized there was a buffet at which point I ate there as much as I was allowed ;-)
So ya, that's about it, also, we're in London now, and we're going to see st. Paul's cathedral today!

We visited STONEHENGE yesterday! I can't believe it! It was sooooooooo AWESOME!
I've decided this post is going to be mostly photos of Stonehenge :-)


Also we are going to London today:-)

Ok, so today, we went to a sustainability fair. It was AWESOME. There were a lot of different tents, each one containing a different specific thing. Also, since it is a bit of a ways to the fair, there was a "shuttle bus" to it (actually it was more like a hay ride, but hey, who cares?). Afterward, we walked back because the "shuttle bus" had a flat tire or something.
BTW, Tobin, Eva and I got henna tattoos. They're really cool. We also got a henna tube and Tobin is getting henna all over his arms (teehee).gotta go and eat dinner now.

Sorry, technical difficulties erased the post I did while on board the queen Mary 2. I will try to redo them, but it may take a day or two. Also, the post about the empire state building was altered. I am also trying to fix that one. BTW, I'm in England now, and it's pretty similar to home. There's these really cool things called styles, and it's basically a bench put at a right angle to a fence, one end protruding from each side, so that the animals in the farmers field don't get out, but people can still walk along the footpaths. It's pretty cool. We are currently staying near Petersfield in Hampshire.
Yesterday we went to Portsmouth by train (electric trains are AWESOME), and saw the HMS Victory. The only reason I didn't get photos of it was that my iPod was out of battery. After that, still in Portsmouth historic dockyard, we went to a building called action stations. In it was the UK's tallest indoor climbing tower, a whole bunch of other activities(including a helicopter simulator), and a brand new laser tag called Laser Quest that just opened. So ya, that's about it, and I'll be posting some more.

Last night we visited times square, and I saw my first indoor ferris wheel.
Seeing a ferris wheel inside a building makes you realize just how big they actually are.
Oh yeah, and about times square, I have never seen bigger screens in my life. I estimate that the average size was about ten meters square (given that they were all different shapes, I can't be exact).
Today we are going to go see the empire state building :-). Ok we're leaving now.

This morning, my iPod woke us up at 7:00 because we had to catch a 9:00 train. We just barely had time to get subway sandwiches before they called us to get on board.
Know what pre-boarding is? It's getting on the train earlier than most people because you have a little kid with you or something. Well, we got to pre-board because of Tobin, and I like it!
I am probably going to do another post later in the day because This one is kind of early to be the only one today.

Yesterday, after a grueling 9 hour train ride from Montreal, we arrived in New York. My first impression of the city is kind of scary. For one, people drive like madmen. Our taxi driver (took a taxi from the train station) was winding in between other cars, and there were bikers on the wrong side! As if that wasn't scary enough, pedestrians cross randomly, narrowly avoiding cars slamming on their brakes.
As of goals In New York, all I want to do is see the empire state building, and the statue of liberty.
Today we're basically just chilling out.
So...ya. I'll post tomorrow!
