The tower
at

Sent from me and my cool iPhone
Today we got up early, had a good breakfast and set out for sightseeing. We were still tired as with the time change it has been difficult for all of us to get back in sync with our internal body clocks. After breakfast onto Victoria Station to buy 3 day travel cards and take the LONDON TUBE to The Tower of London where we were facinated by so much history. I especially liked the suits of armour and took some good photos.
Then a ride on the Thames from The Tower Bridge to Westminster where we spotted Big Ben, The Houses of Parliment and went into Westminster Abby. We then walked to Trafalger Square passing no. 10 Downing Street and sat ourselves down for a nice lunch at the National Gallery's cafe. We were done...so sleepy that we will leave the tour of the National Gallery for another day.......back to the B&B and we all took long naps....Adam is still asleep...we left him a not:)
gotta run......ciao...untill next time I check in!

Yeah! I found internet access........yippy! ok, but I have to be quick.....We arrived safely though a bit late with no time to rest. We were hungry and so tired. We wandered a short way and found the Traveler's Tavern where Adam and Amy ordered 4 pints and some fish and chips. I normally don't like beer but it was good......London..we are here.

Europe Adventure 2007
Monday, October 8, 2007
at
5:18 PM
Hello everyone!
Tomorrow Rudy, Adam, Amy and I take off for a trip to Europe. Adam is joining us for the first 9 days to London and Rome, Amy continues on with us through Florence, Barcelona and Paris and flies home 6 days before Rudy and I come back around November 2nd.
I am hoping to update my art blog mARTa's art as we travel from city to city with stories and hopefully some sketches or photos of where we are. If you'd like to follow along check the blog every few days... or not...I won't be offended if you just delete my emails!
I've already posted some sketches of our trip preparations and looks like we are all set to go. I have caught a cold and am taking my airborn and drinking lots of fluids. Hopefully it will pass soon.
This week we arrive in London on Wednesday around 3pm local time. Just in time to get settled in and take ourselves out for a bite to eat and check out our surroundings. We are staying at the Elizabeth B&B near Victoria station, a good starting off point for much of our sight seeing.
Wish us a good flight and good health and I'll check in again soon!

One more day.....

before we leave on Tuesday morning for our European Adventure! My Amy, like her mother, is well organized and has it all together. Adam, like his father has left many things to the last minute so I know tomorrow, beside making sure I have everything....I have to make sure they have everything! I will post again Tuesday morning before we leave, then I'm hoping to post frequently (no pictures) to keep family and friends abreast of where we are and what we are up to!!!
This sketch I added to my travel journal while at quilt camp. I'm hoping I get lots of opportunities to sketch on this trip. If not, I'll hopefully have lots of reference photos!!! Oh, by the way, the new me has a cute short haircut and a bit more blond.....ciao!

Quilt Camp
at
4:27 PM
I have spent the past few days in San Diego, California at 'Quilt Camp' with my girlfriends. This special group of ladies and I have been getting together for many years now; first to teach each other how to quilt and then we picked up new talents and crafts and so now we quilt, stamp, scrapbook, knit, crochet, sew, scrapbook, sketch and this time I taught a bookbinding workshop to 5 of the ladies. I should have taken photos of the process and fun we had, of the wanderings through old town and the mango margaritas that were our favorites this weekend! But all I have to show for the weekend are some new sketchbooks I made (photos to come later) a new sketch for my travel journal and I CAUGHT A COLD! total bummer :(
