London

London is a pretty cool place except the weather totally sucks.  It rained way too much when we were there.  And it was cold.  Come on, I thought it was summer?!?  July, help me out here!  I've been once before when I was 12, what I remember most is how easy the subway system is to understand and it still holds true.  Out of all the cities we were in, London has the most straight forward and intuitive transit system.  London wins!!  It was also fun to see London getting ready for the Olympics.

Sweet building facade

Adorable little truck

Color changing store!

Harry Potter (of course)

London Bridge is not falling down + has a sweet color scheme, BONUS!!

Probably the coolest boat ever.

Lots of Olympic themed ads, obvi.

Amy wore her Circus dress in honor of my visit!! Wheee!! (I made it for her)

Sian and Amy, our lovely hosts (outside) and me and Dustin (inside) last day of trip!!

Back to work in nyc!!

Paris

Paris, France!  Honestly Paris is like a smelly New York City (that's just as dirty) except there are more people with body odor.  But on the plus side I found more visually interesting things to look at in Paris than anywhere we went.  They have the good stuff you just have to know where to go.

Sweet subway mosaic art

Pastries!! Paris has the most delicious and decadent tiny cakes and pastries anywhere.  And crepes, yum!  They definitely have the dessert down.  The rest of it, not so much.  Stale baguettes?  Come on guys.

Colorful bead shop

Teal and white subway cars

Just this little tower thing, you might have heard of it.

Supercool giant textile art installation at Versailles!  Not gonna lie Versailles is cool because it's ridiculous how extravagantly they lived and how GIANT the grounds are.  But let's be honest, this fabric sculpture was totally the best part.

Last stop: London, England here we come!!

Copenhagen

Copenhagen wins the award for most colorful buildings!

And now for more!
