BELGIUM BEER FEST!!!!

Ahh yes. The beers! Where to start?


first, better, best! (not really. The middle one is the best)


oooh! an oompah band!


what are you doing?! put me down! it's high up here!!


meet Benji the belgian bear! mah human won him at the carnival fair thingy in Oostend.


Cary and Cait enjoying some booze.



Don't you dare even try taking this away from me. I love my cherry beer more than anything! This is *mine*!!!
shoo!

Hooray! Belgium!!

First stop, the white cliffs of Dover! We took the ferry from Dover to Callais on the bus for the Belgium Beer Tour. The cliffs really are white and huge, but unfortunately mah human didn't get to take pics until on the ferry.... thus ruined with industrial shmuck.


People on the other side of the ferry, cliffs, etc...
It was windy, so I chose to stay within my backpack again.


The creepiest "inspector Gadget" ride EVER. This was at a carnival in Oostend, Belgium. Weird sea side town that seems to have hit it's peak about 20 years ago.


Me at yet another beach! The big brown thing was some drain pipe they had to dig up. Strange.


hmm... there seem to be ferris wheels everywhere!


a pretty cathedral thingy.


welcome to the church of Zeke!


I think I want a sailboat. hmmm yes.

Back in time, AGAIN!!

So these are the pictures taken by our CAPA leader Joanna! Because of some strange issue with blogger... they uploaded in reverse order? So we will start with Scottland and go back to my second day in London....
And then of course, we will resume to our spot in Fall break!
Goodness this is getting too confusing. Maybe it's time I hired a blog writer for me...


This is the group at the end of a very rainy hike in the highlands. Jo tried to get them to do a cute jumping picture but well... it didn't work out. They were too close. As you might see, mah human has both feet on the ground! The guy in the air on the right was our wild and sexy Scotland tour guide, Martin. He was wild and sexy, and a fan of me (z). I decided not to get into the picture as it was wet and I was enjoying my slightly warmer spot in the backpack.



The group again. This time, not jumping.


The group, yet again, still in the Scottish Highlands. This was near a memorial for soldiers. As you can see on the ground in front of Liz (the one laying down) there is another blogger friend here, Knitted Kitty!


Some of the girls near the Dunkheld (sp?) Cathedral, still in Scotland.


A bit of the group plus Fosdal! Their British Life and Culture professor. He is quite the charmer.


Fosdal, an English chap posing on Brighton pier.


Part of the group on day #2 in front of tower bridge. If you look closely, you can find me!!!
(amy, kyle, jenica, erika, me!, susan, caitlin, rj, robin, and dan.)

Hooray. Thanks Jo for letting me blog with your pictures!

instant gratification much?
yummy...

A Random Interlude!

These are photos taken by our friend Cary Kravets! He joined Caitlin and mah Human to Belgium, and when he came on Friday night, we all went on the London Eye. He had a fancy shmanchy camera and took some fabulous shots. Here are they!





And eek! A quick look forward! Here are some pictures from fall break (before mine!) but hey, let's do some things out of order...

Caitlin and Susan lookin postcard perfect in Brugge.


On tha Brugge Cruise! (yeah it rhymes).... They all hopped into a little boat to explore the canals.


The beer men at the beer fest!


Our table at the beer fest. Ben is on the left, Brent on the right, then Caitlin and Susan. This is before the real party started!

Westminster / London Eye pt 1

Westminster and Big Ben!!
Right when you walk out of the Westminster tube stop you see this:




and if you walk around the corner (when the sun is setting) you get this view.

London eye and London Aquarium... (used to be a house for the Lords or whatnot)


Westminster Abbey at Sunset


One of the first pictures from on the London Eye!


Looking up while on the bottom of the London Eye.... The light it up with purple/pink lights at night. I tried to make a union jack...

Mah human was in Texas?!?!

susan and caitlin went to the Texas Embassy Cantina... They had chips and salsa! and "hill country peach" margaritas!!.... money well spent


Them after eating the important food. (of course I wasn't invited.... though i'm sure I was busy napping or somethin')


And here is a picture from when the group went to see A Brief Encounter. At one point three of the actors (dressed as 1950's ushers) were dancing and doing high kicks.
