• Were going to take a journey across the Atlantic
  from North America to Europe
• Well begin in London and end in Amsterdam

When I was in London

• I took this boat from the Tate Britain to the
  Tate Modern via the Thames River

3
And also studied William Hogarth, a British artist

• This was his home, where a portion of his
  engravings, etchings and paintings are displayed

4
I went to Paris via the Eurostar Chunnel train
and viewed these two museums

• The Louvre

• The Centre Pompidou

5
Seeing the Eiffel Tower at Night was spectacular

• In the evening the light bulbs attached to the
  tower would twinkle every ten minutes

6
But it was the kisses from Paris that stole my
heart

Versailles Gardens and Grounds

• The Versailles Gardens are a meticulous design
  exemplification of the French Monarchy from the
  seventeenth century

Things that I ? about the Gulbenkian in Lisbon,
Portugal

• This Museum is placed in and among a public
  garden
• The vegetation was plush and overgrown simulating
  an oasis
• There are other museums also housed in the park

No, this isnt the IKBLC!

• The renovations are being done to the Sagrada
  Familia Church in Barcelona, Spain

Firenze (Florence), Italy was my favorite city

• Standing on top of the Duomo, which overlooks the
  city

11
The most authentic Italian phrase I heard was in
Naples
MAMMA MIA!
12
This is one of the many views of the Vlatva river
in Prague
13
The Munchen (Munich) Beer Gardens are beautiful
and one of the main attractions of the city
14
In Berlin its imperative to view the numerous
historical documentations that exist in the
large city
15
Did you know?

• Amsterdams domestic architecture tends to lean
  forward at the top.

• This was in order to have a pulley system to
  bring larger and heavier items to the upper
  stories inside the house

Here are some examples
