sorry it took so long to get the london pics up, we´ll try to be better bloggers....keyword is TRY.

special thanks to kaleena for the baby wipes....i will never live another day without having baby wipes on me. :)

we´re off to explore barcelona!

barcelona!!!!

tomorrow we are off to barcelona! hooray !!! but i am really sad to leave london. this place has really grown on me and like i've said a thousand times, if i could, i'd move here in a heartbeat....hmmm...i'll find a way!

so yesterday lex was sick in bed all day so i ventured out on my own which turned out to be an awesome day. i met some cool people, the weather was gorgeous, i walked a ridiculous amount all over the city but most of all, i went to the tate gallery. the exhibits there were breathtaking...i know i'm sounded like a huge dork talking this way, but honestly if you could see or have seen it, you'd understand. there is a francis bacon exhibit there and wow!...i think i spent a good 2 hours looking through the nine rooms of his work. if you ever get a chance to go see his work, please do. absolutely amazing work.

well i'd go on about the other stuff but i just got my two minute warning on this computer...dont feel like paying anymore...OH but wait, at the tate they had this thing where people would literally "run as if their lives depended on it"...down the main hallway of the gallery. it was an exhibit by mark reed. LOVED IT! so genius!

okay i have 30 seconds left...kisses to all and ill write more in barcelona! and post pics :)

adding to the gripe

I will add to the previous gripe posting why all the stairs??? and why in every hostel are we on the top floor???

other than that loving it!!! and off to warm weather and the beach :)

hello hello

sorry about the lack of blogging....we have no excuse...

so london. LOVE IT. the weather has been great, it rained the first day we were here for a few hours but thats it. its been hot and sunny.perfect for vacation :)
we've seen everything...don't even know where to start. westminster abbey, house of parliment, london bridge, tower bridge, big ben, tower of london, hyde park, buckingham palace, national gallery, tate gallery....the list goes on...vacation is exhausting, but SO GREAT!

today i went and ventured out alone...lex has been sick the whole time we've been in london :(
we had hoped on actually making it out of london one day to check out some of england, but theres just not enough time....more reason to come back i suppose!
tomorrow is our last day in london, then its off to barcelona and madrid :)
we're going to try to update pictures soon, i know i know..we keep promising and then nothing. apologies all around. we'll try harder...there's too much to choose from the thousands of pictures we've been taking.

here's our gripe about the uk....why is the toilet paper always BEHIND you and 3 feet above your head.. you'd have to be about 8 feet tall to be able to reach that!!

:)

just kidding

our hostel has EVERYTHING blocked so we can't upload the pics we took today.

sorry for the tease ill try again at the next place we go!

london baby!

we're in london!!!!!!!!!!

and are being greeted by rain, hooray....but its okay, cause we made it to london!

very sad to leave ireland...:(


kisses to all!

pictures pictures pictures!!!

we made it to the irish sea! went to bray and greystones yesterday, about 35 min south of the city....gorgeous!

dublin.

yeah!!!!!!

malahide castle....and no my head is not the huge.

first beer in dublin. quay's bar. fantastic.

6am arrival at dublin airport waiting for our bus to the city....we were a bit excited.

walking,walking and then more walking

We switched hostels today and are now staying at the brewery hostel next to the Guinness storehouse. Walking from hostel to hostel was a long walk that we made two more times today for dinner and back...legs hurting but will have strong calfs soon :)

Guinness tour was amazingly fun and of course we had our free drink at the end in the gravity bar with spectacular views of Dublin.

Called home this evening to the fams and everyone sounded well.

We are currently watching family fortune the British version of family feud...a little strange

mmmmm...down the street

and yes we are eating baguettes and jam at 10:45 at night :)

notes on dublin

things we have noticed....

there are multiple places called "murray's" something or other......
fantastic!!!!

hot, sexy men, all around. yessssssss. :) had encouters with some of them...hoooooooooray!
and cougars....(we've made a secret sign when we spot them...good times)

everyone walks ridiculously fast!!! and they are all quiet in this clean city. very strange, but great.

the double decker buses are wonderful. wish sf would get them.

we went to malahide castle today. gorgeous. old. from 1180's. many pictures to follow.

women have tiny boobs here. NO LIE! we are the most big chested girls you could imagine. the boys seem to like it, we dont mind :)

and we shall leave with our fave quotes so far....
"i don't know where it is, MY BAG ATE IT!!!!"

and

"i dont know how to spell....but i can spell bitch".....ireland soap opera. LOVE IT!

thats all for now. enjoy.

love,
allison and lex

ps- we are having serious issues uploading pictures here. nothing seems to work. we'll try harder when its not friday night and the pubs aren't calling our names.
tata!

captain's log.......

jet lagggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg......

we made it! we made it! we made it!

we arrived in dublin yesterday morning at 6:30 in the morning....ugh. overnight flight but with the time difference there really wasn't a possibility of sleep. anyways, yesterday was amazing but pretty much the longest day of our lives. saw so much, drank so so so much coffee and walked further than i think i've walked in months. this city is gorgeous.
today is day two and after some much needed sleep last night our bodies are still fighting us with this time difference. its an 8 hour difference between here and sf....not an easy transition. even with being on the east coast before hand, it didnt help. so we're all sorts of screwed up but having a blast!
the hostel is pretty cool, we are sharing a room with 6 other girls. 2 are french and pretty sure they don't speak english, one is austrailian and she had been traveling europe for 10 weeks so it was cool to talk to her last night, one is german and adorable, very chatty.....the other two have no faces or nationality as of yet because we haven't seen them or met them....just heard them come in last night and wake up at some ungodly hour this morning. so far so good though.

i'll try to post some pictures within the next few days, we're in an internet cafe and paying for it so i don't want to spend too much time uploading and going through them...and i just got my five minute warning!

love to you all!
and ill call home this weekend!

kisses!!xoxoxoxo

Yes

I made it to the east coast!!!

Hooray!!

Last day of work for Allison :)

14 days bitches!!! :)
