Thank you Lord for helping my guitar travel all through europe safely.
Here is Angela pictured with her Uncle Ashbar. We got to visit him at his Frozen Yogurt shop near the restaurant we ate at
The Last Supper
After a long day of booking a new flight... convincing British Airways (the worst customer service in the world) to put me up in a hotel and walking around london for 2.5 hours to find a decent fish and chips place... i was wasted.
Sleeping on the Piccadilly line...
Angela pictured here with her boyfriend Jean-Louis
A Frustrating day. Pictured here are Angela and I in Londons Heathrow airport waiting in the ticket line because they had cancelled my flight.
Post ride - 1 hour and 45 minutes later... i felt like vommiting. "Somebody pass me a bucket so i can throw up"
On the way to the airport. Angela and i went on a SEVERELY LONG BUS RIDE... But prior to the ride i was a Rockstar
On my way home i got to meet up with Miss Angela Goerz (Who i met in Spain with Lorinda). I've commented on her coffee before... here she attempted to make me coffee again. First she tried italian style espresso and add milk and she burned the espresso. Then she tried standard coffee maker coffee and something went dreadfully wrong there too. Please pray for Angela as she will one day need to know how to make good coffee for her spouse or she may die an old single bad coffee making lady!
Gloucester Rd Tube station
The Double O Seventies
Here are Tom and I and two of toms friends out for a brew at a friendly neighborhood pub. Goodtimes.

A short walk from big ben is a nice river, here is a shot of the sunset i saw on that walk.
Big ben and the underground.... I guess this picture has more of a deeper meaning to it now then when i took it..... this was my first photo in London
Currency Exchange right? Wrong... I went here in Schaumburg Illinois to change dollars to Euros. "Sorry sir, we don't exchange foreign currency".... oh really, what do you exchange? "well we do car insurance, brokerage fees and things like that" ..... I was so suprised i had to take a photo
The Chicago Express way at night
Gino's East - World Famous pizza in downtown chicago
THIS IS WHERE MY TRIP STARTED... These photos were not accesible until i got home with the proper software. This is a photo of Kevin Brown and i. Kevin found my Palm Pilot / Phone after i had lost it in the depths of Chicago on June 13. Thank you Kevin!

Here's an interesting though. I'm in London today until tomorrow afternoon. When i arrived at the train station i was greeted by about 12 police officers with machine guns. One of them had his gun pointed into the crowd and was chatting on a cell phone. What a way to instill fear into a nation.

This is an image I captured at the train station at East Croydon. This young boy was across the tracks shouting loudly and shooting his toy gun at passerbyes. I must say, It seemed quite strange to travel from the Gatwick train station where officers were weilding their machine guns to this small village to see this boy using his gun as a toy.

Odd...

Not only did i have to do this, Alyne helped with the rest of my clothes and dried them with a blow drier. Thank you Alyne!
Laundry or Dinner? Our house had no dryer and i needed to pack my bag one last time before i came home and my socks were not dry from the wash so i stuck them in the oven.
Carly - one of the kids in my group said take a cool picture of my shoe.... this was it.
Oh yess... Pure bliss
Josh Hyslop - please pray.
Gotta feed 'em before you can eat 'em
Breaking into the house... Here is Alyne trying to reach the door handle through the mail slot. no success, so instead we just headed to Tesco's for some hot breakfast!

Yeah, i know... Studly, What can i say. This is a picture of me posing while we were waiting to get into our house in Dingwall. Our Mission contact there forgot the key and we had to wait for a chunk of time until we could get into the house. I'm pictured here wearing Melissa's sun glasses and an Indian Raven feather.
Austin - looks like a DJ of the wildernessl
Nothing like a refreshing glass of "Orange Drink" after a long bike trip...
Oh Yeah, you know it - Cara and Andy this ones for you, I went on a bike trip... 5 days later and my butt is still sore! Posted by Picasa
Chris Hyslop and i got to share a few glasses of "Coffee" at a local pub near the church. Posted by Picasa
This is the view of the River in Inverness outside the church that we were staying at. Scotland reminded me a lot of BC but the sky was seemingly more dramatic Posted by Picasa
