Nina's Exhilarating Life

Well, I made it back to Seattle. I am working through the jet lag. Tom keeps asking me why I am awake at 5am. I think he needs to go to Europe…
My last day in London turned out to be quite exciting. First, my mother falls down the stairs and I [...]

Bloody Brilliant!

We went to the airport the other day to meet a friend of my mothers for dinner. The airport is about an hour by bus away from Hampton and it was about 930PM. Anyway, this completely drunk man gets on. I would say he’s around 70 years old. He tries to [...]

Yesterday while I was chilling on the Spanish steps, I saw someone with a Seahawk’s Jersey. It was enough to get off my butt and go speak with him. I asked if he was from Seattle but no, of course not. He’s from Scotland! Full accent and all. He downloads [...]

I decided that I should at least visit the Vatican while I am here so I booked a tour tomorrow. I don’t have the energy to figure it out myself. I just need to show up at some Bar. Sounds good to me! Anyway, today I went “shopping” since most of [...]

All I gotta say is… I hope Tom doesn’t want to come here because I don’t think I want to come back. First, this city is dirty. Trash, graffiti, dirt… everywhere. Yesterday at lunch I watched a guy glue Prada labels on purses. Today I had to take Metro Line B [...]

Well, Rome appears to be very old. It is kind of dirty too. It’s not bad just not sure it’s my kind of place. There are tons of people everywhere. LIKE EVERYWHERE. I don’t think I care enough about any of the sites to fight the people so I am [...]

I am here but insanely tired.  Expect more pictures tomorrow….
As for London, yesterday we saw Billy Elliot, The Musical.  The musical was good but we did have some problems understanding the accents.    We also went on the London Eye.  I will only force you all to look at one picture because I am [...]

I am becoming an old lady. Instead of going to Tate Modern, I went to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Gardens. It was pretty cool and expensive. 22 pounds per person (about 44 USD)! It is HUGE. You would need a couple full days to see everything so we had [...]

Today I went to Hayward Gallery and it was pretty cool. I was on top of the thingy there. You can see some people hanging out. It was pretty cool. It was like that one scene in Revenge of the Nerds. I highly recommend going if you are in the [...]
