Bonjour, More Paris
The Musee De Orsay museum was full of some of the biggest named artist in one gallery. It was quite the experience to see all these paintings in person and have the time to see them all. We then went to the Arc of Triumph where we were able to go to the top and view just about the whole city of Paris. Later that night we saw the church of the living heart and also the moullon roughe. From the pictures you can see I did a sweet air grab and got a good old fashion piggy back ride from one of the girls.

Tour de Skate
Paris Skate 2007 started off with me busting a sweet leg grab off a local skate ramp. Earlier that week we mapped out our course for the Paris skate and made our check points major sites to see. We were really able to see the city of Paris and also many of the main sites to see in one day, on skates! It ended up being a great time and we reached all are check points, here’s a list of what was seen on skates. (Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle, Pompidu, The Lourve, Napoleon’s Obelisk, Crystal Palace, Paris Opera House, Arc De Triumphe, The Madeline, Trocadero and the Effel Tower.) Skating is not a crime!

First real day in Paris
Well the day off, was another day of fun. We decided to make our way to church that this Sunday morning, so we hopped on the metro and headed off to the Local meeting house. After that we went through the Catacombes which is a underground place which is full of millions of human bones that were put their to store after a big pledage. Later that night we did the Seine River boat tour which went right along many of Paris biggest known sites. When ended the night viewing the Eiffel tower.

Front and center at the Blenheim Palace.
We got up early and took the train to the Blenheim Palace. The walk up to the Palace is amazing and if people did it enough on foot, as we did, you could get an amazing exercise. We had a little rain at the first of the day but, it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. I wish I could of got photo's of the inside of this place because it's amazing. Photo's are allowed outside, so here's a bunch of the garden and of the outside of the Palace. Enjoy!

Rock On Scotland!
Well our second day in Scotland was a perfect day. We got out early and we were planning on taking a train to see this amazing castle outside of Edinburgh but, because of time issue's we ended up just going to the beach. It turned out to be a blast and it was really beautiful their. We took of the shoe's and headed out to the beach to soak up the sun. I was temped to just go crazy and do a big dive into the water but, there were no big waves so I just kicked it on the beach. It was a perfect ending to the advanture of Scotland, then we headed back to L-Town, AKA London!
Yeah, were at the beach, in Scotland!
