So I'm now in England. We finished our last few days up in Zanzibar and in those days they most exciting thing I did was go swimming with dolphins. It was great aside from the fact that I got about a million jellyfish stings that even now about 2 weeks later you can still see faintly in some areas. They really really hurt and I know you're all thinking it, but no I did not pee on them or let Richard do it either. We got into Paris on the 18th and were there for four days. Paris is a really cool city and I would like to go back for a bit longer one day, even though I got to see most of the sights there are still a few museums and whatnot that I would like to go to. But man was it expensive, for Richard and I to go for lunch at a decent resturant and share a club sandwich a bottle or water and a piece of cake cost like 25 euros and one euro is roughly $1.65. I am now in England and I've been really sick for the last two days but I seem to be on the road to recovery.
We spent the day in London today and went all over the place. My favorite was a store, which I can't remember the name of, where the Queen shops. There was 4 floors and inside was everything from pet supplies to wedding dresses, and makeup to home decor. It was so ridiculously expensive. We found a fur coat worth £20,000 (which is $40,000) and it was so ugly. It was really weird being in a shop where even with all the money left in my bank account and all the credit available on my visa I couldn't buy half the things in the entire store. And people were actually shopping there. Outside there was a whole street just filled with the nicest cars you could imagine. There was bentlys, ferries, mercedis, range rovers, porches and austin martins, along with others that I didn't even know, parked bumper to bumper parked all around the building. Most of the people actually shopping there were middle eastern people who own oil fields and that.
Anyway, only 19 days till I get home now, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. I'm really behind on writing in my journal so that is the next thing to get updated. Leave me some comments cause I love to hear from you and I'll speck to you all soon.

Hi Teen + Richard,
Wow when you travel you do it BIG time!! Yes, you've been gone for awhile now but you might as well enjoy all the countries that you want to go to while you're 'over there'.....
Live, Laugh + Love,

From making bricks by hand to $40,000 coats . . . that must be really strange!
