Thoiry Zoo -February 2008


We went to Thoiry Zoo on February 9 and had such a great time since the weather was great but the zoo offered a drive through to see the animals and a safari where you can explore animals on your own. Let's see if you're able to name some of the animals as we were clueless about some.




Han is alone in the maze and very lost.


Taking a break after the big maze.

London February 2008

This is our second time in London and we enjoyed it even better. We didn't go to a lof of tourists area since we've been here before. We just wanted to hang out and enjoy the fish and chips and beer. Goodbye to London!! It was great!!



The new train station in London. It's very nice compared to Waterloo.





The girls loved playing in the hotel room.

We stopped at a park beside the London Eye so the girls can play. They didn't want to get off the swings. As you know, swings are obsolete in France. They're enjoying as much as they can before we head off to another tourist place.






































































We stopped at another Pub and ate fish and chips. Wow, this one was great and the beer is very tasty!!

















































































































Outside the National Gallery Museum. Great museum!!







































Freestyle football (soccer). These guys are making a lot of money doing this.








































Had to take a picture of the phone booth again in London. They're everywhere!!









































Even though it was COLD outside, we had to get ice cream from London. We liked it so much from our last visit that we wanted each of us to have fun. As you can see, the girls loved it!!
