Last day in London

Old English breakfast: two fried eggs, bacon, a sausage, beans, and a black pudding.(the black pudding was made out of blood and liver)


Baba and I had a tour of The House of Parlement, where both the Houses of Lords, and the House of commons divide up the legislative powers. (We were not allowed to take pictures inside)

For dinner, we went back to the place that we had dinner two nights ago (Ma La), I ate the same thing as last time, a bowl of chicken with a special teriyaki sauce and some chopped greens.

For dessert, I ate a homemade mango pudding at Ma La.

After dinner, Baba and I walked to the London eye, however, it was completely booked, so we could not go on it.

Our last look at London before we left for Stonehenge.

    Didn't I see some pictures Baba took inside Parliament (check your spelling above)? Make sure you synch pictures from her phone onto your computer as well.

    Charlie, an old English breakfast is the kind of wonderful-tasting thing you can get away with eating when you're on vacation, and which your parents discourage you from eating when you're not. As you know, it's fatty. Fat helps the body absorb Vitamin E, but it clogs your arteries, which over time can cause heart disease. Nowadays a lot of people drink red wine with fatty foods because red wine flushes fat away and keeps arteries clear. And so, for the next time you eat an old English breakfast, may I suggest a sparking burgundy, or, just as good, a nice, dry Bordeaux? 2009 was a good year.

Seeing the Chateaus of France.

Image
We woke up in our hotel room in Tours and went downstairs for breakfast. A man named Pascal and his partner ran the hotel and Pascal were serving breakfast. He was very nice and served us incredible hot chocolate, croissants, baguette, Nutella, and jam. We ate quickly then got in a cab to the Tourist Office in Tours. From the Tourist Office, we took the van to start our tour of the Chateaus of France. This is Clos Luce, the Chateau where Leonardo da Vinci died. It has many of his incredible inventions inside of it. This was his workshop where he started his paintings, sketches, and designs for his inventions. This is a lifesize model of his most famous painting "the Mona Lisa". The is Chateau Chenonceau, considered the most beautiful Chateaus in all of France.

Solar Powered

Image
In our house, we recently installed solar panels to reduce our carbon emissions and also save about 45% of our annual costs for our house’s electricity. My Dad wrote a few questions for me to answer that would attempt to persuade much more people to add solar panels to their own houses, and also to try and persuade others to add them to their own houses. Why does solar work for our house? Solar works for our house because we have multiple roof areas mostly south facing that have sufficient sunlight to make a good amount of electricity to be worth the money that they cost. What is the design? There are 19 panels on the one side of the roof and 5 on the other side of the roof above Mom, and Dad’s bedroom How much does it cost? It costs $20,000  when they are installed, but nothing every year afterward. How much electricity will it produce? Our solar panels will produce about 5946 kWh every year for 25 years. What other financial benefits? We will save ...

Day #1 in London

Image
My grandmother and I arrived at Heathrow in London at about 10:30 AM local time, and we were extremely tired. I had only got about an hour or two of sleep on the plane over the Atlantic ocean. We walked to the taxi area and got into a cab. The UK taxis are black and look old, on the inside, there is quite a large space, and three seats along the back of the car. There is no trunk in the UK taxis so we had lots of extra space inside the taxi. Even with the taxis old look, it had an intercom for talking to the driver and also an AC and window button. When we arrived at our hotel we put our bags down and immediately took a two-hour long nap before leaving for lunch. We ate lunch at the ale and pie restaurant below our hotel. I ordered an incredible beef burger, and Baba ordered a steak and blue cheese pie. After lunch, we walked about five minutes to big ben. The Big Ben This is a picture of the London eye.
