The Rosetta Stone has both Greek and Egyptian writing on it using 3 scripts: hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek. The stone was carved in 196 B.C.. The stone was found by French soldiers in a small village in the Delta called Rosetta in 1799. The text is written by a group of priests in Egypt to honour the Egyptian Pharaoh. Pretty amazing to see in person!</div><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367003460528755570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SnttNjUb03I/AAAAAAAAFio/ZCiljHxLMRc/s400/IMG_3217.JPG" border="0" />Pieces of the Parthenon frieze.

Probably because I saw the eye on a weekly basis. I couldn't wait to ride the London Eye but waited for Dave and Chelsea's visit so we could all ride the eye together. I'm glad I waited for their visit, because I don't think I'd pay to go on the eye twice. The London Eye also known as the Millennium Wheel is the biggest Ferris Wheel in Europe. The London Eye is something I will miss seeing so often. Here are a few of my favorite London Eye photos I have.<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SntkBjx-FEI/AAAAAAAAFiQ/9t3wP-7gN2s/s1600-h/IMG_3201.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366993358889555010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SntkBjx-FEI/AAAAAAAAFiQ/9t3wP-7gN2s/s400/IMG_3201.JPG" border="0" /></a>Me and Chelsea on the London eye<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SntkAf63i2I/AAAAAAAAFiA/ySiE0SpxkrA/s1600-h/DSC00608.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366993340673264482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SntkAf63i2I/AAAAAAAAFiA/ySiE0SpxkrA/s400/DSC00608.JPG" border="0" /></a> Connie Wagner, Me, Kate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Eckersley</span> on our first visit to the London Eye<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sntj_5AjNQI/AAAAAAAAFh4/zOoWcn2-r5A/s1600-h/DSC00606.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366993330228114690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sntj_5AjNQI/AAAAAAAAFh4/zOoWcn2-r5A/s400/DSC00606.JPG" border="0" /></a> Connie, Me, Kate<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sntj_Z4ph9I/AAAAAAAAFhw/9Uuf_RVJ9E4/s1600-h/IMG_3176.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366993321873475538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sntj_Z4ph9I/AAAAAAAAFhw/9Uuf_RVJ9E4/s400/IMG_3176.JPG" border="0" /></a> The London Eye</div></div></div></div>caitlynirenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14797198600222789620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429842693477196149.post-10405740611240477302009-08-06T13:30:00.003-06:002009-08-06T14:03:46.630-06:00Buckingham PalaceBuckingham Palace is a very busy part of town bustling with tourists. The changing of the guard is worth (trying) to see. You have to go very early to beat all the other tourists to be able to see the actual changing of the guard. I have not been able to get there early enough and refuse to wake up any earlier. But I've enjoyed my visits to Buckingham Palace. Loads of people from all over the world and most willing to take a picture of you if you will take a picture for them. Except for the Asian old man who looked at me with this scared and shocked face and walked away.<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Snswoh7A-GI/AAAAAAAAFho/7T8U0JExLjU/s1600-h/CIMG4006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366936853800876130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Snswoh7A-GI/AAAAAAAAFho/7T8U0JExLjU/s400/CIMG4006.JPG" border="0" /></a> The Band playing Austin Powers or Harry Potter</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SnswoJC_yYI/AAAAAAAAFhg/Yw7WdXt6zWM/s1600-h/CIMG4011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366936847123466626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SnswoJC_yYI/AAAAAAAAFhg/Yw7WdXt6zWM/s400/CIMG4011.JPG" border="0" /></a> Zach and Daniel (our BYU intern friends) Me, Jenna, Melissa, Sarah<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Snswn5ROJDI/AAAAAAAAFhY/62YxNKoNLJc/s1600-h/CIMG3981.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366936842888160306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Snswn5ROJDI/AAAAAAAAFhY/62YxNKoNLJc/s400/CIMG3981.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SnswnPMqoHI/AAAAAAAAFhQ/EB4zlfaUroU/s1600-h/CIMG2319.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366936831594766450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SnswnPMqoHI/AAAAAAAAFhQ/EB4zlfaUroU/s400/CIMG2319.JPG" border="0" /></a> Courtney Burrows, Abby Woodland, Maren Marcy, Me, Sarah Mabey, Erin Wetzel<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Snswm9YZX1I/AAAAAAAAFhI/kqmM-_YUh_8/s1600-h/CIMG2329.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366936826812129106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Snswm9YZX1I/AAAAAAAAFhI/kqmM-_YUh_8/s400/CIMG2329.JPG" border="0" /></a> The Queen's London residence</div></div></div><br /></div>caitlynirenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14797198600222789620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429842693477196149.post-77430648936000202742009-08-06T13:24:00.002-06:002009-08-06T13:29:57.376-06:00Chartwell a.k.a.

It is completely furnished just as it was when he and his wife lived here. It is a great big home with lots of land and sits near the lake. It is a dream home basically. We even got to go inside Churchill's private art studio. Painting was his hobby, and it is filled with his work.caitlynirenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14797198600222789620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429842693477196149.post-59169892052332822772009-08-06T13:08:00.002-06:002009-08-06T13:23:43.886-06:00Hever CastleOur last day trip with Study Abroad.

I was shocked that we were able to take pictures of these amazing pieces of art and history.<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bdSUevNI/AAAAAAAAFTs/W_yFEqb9yVg/s1600-h/DSC_1086.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359102640286252242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bdSUevNI/AAAAAAAAFTs/W_yFEqb9yVg/s400/DSC_1086.JPG" border="0" /></a> Me, Alyssa Esmond, Mary Williams</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bdLkz66I/AAAAAAAAFTk/zrRDVF-S1wU/s1600-h/CIMG4940.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359102638475701154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bdLkz66I/AAAAAAAAFTk/zrRDVF-S1wU/s400/CIMG4940.JPG" border="0" /></a>Renoir-Dance at eh Moulin de La Galett. Renoir captured sunny, “carefree” Parisian life with the happy “smiling” faces of his dancers.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bciycP7I/AAAAAAAAFTc/7DTWqApcEUE/s1600-h/CIMG4938.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359102627527016370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bciycP7I/AAAAAAAAFTc/7DTWqApcEUE/s400/CIMG4938.JPG" border="0" /></a> Monet- Notre Dame. Monet would go sit outside the front of Notre Dame and paint the church exactly how it was at that time of day. They displayed 4 of these paintings, each with difference in sunlight, color and shadow. It was really cool to see these side by side and to know Monte's purpose for these paintings.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bcYkdAiI/AAAAAAAAFTU/-jZSz5N_fl0/s1600-h/CIMG5154.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359102624783991330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bcYkdAiI/AAAAAAAAFTU/-jZSz5N_fl0/s400/CIMG5154.JPG" border="0" /></a> Van Gogh- Noon rest from work. I am amazed by almost every Van Gogh I see. I feel lucky to have seen so many with my own eyes. He is truly one of my favorite artists. Most of his paintings are so consistent with his style. More often than not you know when you're viewing a Van Gogh.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bcOw3GBI/AAAAAAAAFTM/zI2GPjL3zSE/s1600-h/CIMG5153.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359102622151677970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/Sl9bcOw3GBI/AAAAAAAAFTM/zI2GPjL3zSE/s400/CIMG5153.JPG" border="0" /></a> Van Gogh- The Bedroom. This is the painting I was so excited to see. I couldn't believe that I was standing right in front of this famous painting. Also, this is one of Andrew's (my brother) favorite paintings too. I couldn't wait to show him. This is Van Gogh's bedroom in the year 1888 in Arles. I love the detail of the portraits above his bed. </div></div></div></div>caitlynirenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14797198600222789620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429842693477196149.post-55039338044910744022009-07-16T10:33:00.002-06:002009-07-16T10:48:28.266-06:00PantheonThe Pantheon was originally a grand church but is no longer a house of worship but a public temple.

We traveled to Brighton. Here I am at Bodiam Castle. It is said to be a perfect example of a late medieval moated castle. This was one of my favorite castles we've visited. I picked out which room would be mine. The land was beautiful and we had a fun time roaming around.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SiVav30UelI/AAAAAAAAFB0/qp07weoxajQ/s1600-h/IMG_3946.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342776311428708946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SiVav30UelI/AAAAAAAAFB0/qp07weoxajQ/s400/IMG_3946.JPG" border="0" /></a> Me, Sara, Abby</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SiVavhAAeUI/AAAAAAAAFBs/W70ERRCxjqA/s1600-h/IMG_3947.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342776305303714114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SiVavhAAeUI/AAAAAAAAFBs/W70ERRCxjqA/s400/IMG_3947.JPG" border="0" /></a> I'm wearing the "removable sleeves" from Ana's jacket; it was pretty chilly<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SiVavpdFfeI/AAAAAAAAFBk/GzLqjnUFZOE/s1600-h/IMG_3948.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342776307573161442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SiVavpdFfeI/AAAAAAAAFBk/GzLqjnUFZOE/s400/IMG_3948.JPG" border="0" /></a> Me and Anna</div><br /></div>caitlynirenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14797198600222789620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429842693477196149.post-34444130831843490212009-06-01T16:15:00.003-06:002009-06-01T16:21:28.581-06:00Preston Temple and LDS tour<div align="left">Our last stop on our 5 day trip.

This is a very old school that was founded in 1585 where they would be in class from 6am to 6pm. Poet William Wordsworth attended here as a boy and they know where he sat due to the graffiti all over the desks. Just like I would, they carved into the woods of the desk their names. The tour guide was cool and entertaining and full of historical information. He made this stop quite fun.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SiROEptfPSI/AAAAAAAAE_8/wrx-73W4u4w/s1600-h/Hawkshead+Grammar+School.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342480899791338786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bpf-s4_mZOs/SiROEptfPSI/AAAAAAAAE_8/wrx-73W4u4w/s400/Hawkshead+Grammar+School.JPG" border="0" /></a> Sarah, Abby and Me</div>caitlynirenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14797198600222789620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429842693477196149.post-73372941178051724242009-06-01T15:44:00.005-06:002009-06-01T23:05:55.989-06:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!<div align="left">Happy Birthday to Me!
