So between my girlfriend and I we took nearly 600 pictures (we each brought a camera just in case something went wrong with one of them) These are some highlights from our trip. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of Liverpool, but my gf did and I'll try and scan in a couple of her pics of strawberry fields, and where the Beatles lived and stuff like that when I get a chance.

First up, here is the first bit of land we saw on the oher side of the Atlantic, I believe that would be a city in Ireland.

yep it was a good time of course. St Andrews was my favourite place, but London and Paris were fantastic of course as well.

Killer pictures... though I don't know how you can bear having the date stamp on. :lol:

It was my dad's camera, and I didn't realize he had the date stamp on, so when I put them all on my computer I was stuck with them. It's not big deal cause it's helped keep them in order (I took over 300 pictures) and it's helped us remember what we did and on what days. In the future it'll be harder and harder to keep track of this stuff so it's probably good that the date stamp is on them.
