Dan & Paula went to London Part 2

Paula also practiced her skills in London.  Here she worked hard to become a London Crane.


Their last morning in London they had delicious Pannenkoeken (large crepes, basically).  Yummy!

And here's the London Eye:

They had a super time in London!  


Thank you to the Voges for their generous hospitality.  It was a great trip and the perfect stop on the way to Israel!

Dan & Paula went to London



They saw lots of cool things like Parliament & Big Ben (well, they didn't actually see the bell), Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, Tower of London, Parks, more buildings, Twinings Tea Shop store, visited with a few of Dan's friends, and enjoyed lots of different food.  They mostly got around by The Tube, by bus, and lots and lots of walking.  But a few times they were able to ride bikes with the new bike share program.

Some things are different in London.  This is a men's bathroom at a lovely park called Hampstead Heath.


One day they went to Dover and admired the Castle.  "I want to live here" Paula said.


Dan also liked the castle and was able to see some places there that he hadn't when he was there 5 years ago.



But somethings hadn't changed much...



At the end of the day Paula was surprised by finding Candy Floss (Cotton Candy) at a local carnival in town.  What could be better than that?!


Back in London Dan practiced his Shakespeare at the Globe Theater.

Wisconsin

The last 2 weeks have been spent visiting with family and friends in Wisconsin.  We started our trip with a stop in Madison to see Fred, Virginia, and the newest member to the Moore family, Lewis.  Then we unpacked the truck in Merrill with the help of Dad & Mom Moore and our friend Ben.  We had that truck packed very, very tight!  The next day we left for a camping trip up near lake Superior at Pattison State Park.  We got back from that last Thursday and have spent the rest of the time catching up with our friends in Merrill, visiting grandparents, a day trip to Camp Forest Springs to see Brad & Dana and other people we knew from working there ourselves, and seeing my family when they came up this weekend.  Joy just returned from a mission trip to Europe.  I'll be in London just a few days after she left there!  Here are some pictures of what we've been upto.  We leave tomorrow for our week in London tomorrow evening.  We're excited!
