Thanks for tuning in!
-Marty and Leah

Days 70-71: New York City (and Newark, NJ)


A night in New York with Nathan and Janice...they deserve a better caption than this. Jet. Lag.


A beautiful sunset over Manhattan, although there are ominous clouds on the horizon...


...which brings us this 10 minutes after getting indoors...


We realize this picture isn't much different than the one above, but lightning is cool!


How we spent our time in New Jersey: at the airport.

Days 65-67: Southern England and Wales


Warwick Castle...costs as much as Disneyland to get in.


At least trying on armor is free!


William Shakespeare's birthplace, in Stratford-upon-Avon.


The Courtyard Theater, where we watched a performance of Richard II.


A bunch of people die in the end...note the trail of blood.


Stratford-by-Moonlight.


Tintern Abbey in South Wales.


The blue speck is Marty.


Stonehenge Rocks! Remember what we said about our sense of humor? It Rocks! And Stonehenge rocks too!

Days 60-64: Northern England and Scotland

...and bringing it to the home-stretch, we ditched boiled beets and post-Soviet hospitality ahead of schedule, and go to the British Isles instead.


Ya know the picture looked bigger on the website...


Hexham Abbey, the first stone church in England.


Leah standing atop Hadrian's Wall. We can only speculate that the bad guys were a lot shorter in the olden days.


I actually found Caelyn and Marissa. Who knew?!? My hands just got in the way, and Leah took the picture from the wrong angle.


Crossing into Scotland. And it was windy.

First Starbucks Marty's seen in over a month, and he loses composure.

The imposing Edinburgh Castle. Pretty much.


Marty and Leah enjoying the record breaking rain in Britain at Caerlaverock Castle in Dumfries, Scotland...
...20 minutes later it was really quite beautiful.


Welcome to the Froggeymoon!!! (10 weeks later, and the humor hasn't improved...)

Tea time in the Lake District in Brantwood, England.

Days 56-59: Prague, Czech Republic aka Prague-ymoon


Prague Castle hovering over the Vltava.


The Castle Gardens and your favorite couple of all time!!!


The outside of St. Vitus...


...and the inside of St. Vitus.

And this is why you don't leave both cameras in Marty's posession...

The Old Jewish Cemetery.


Can you find Leah? (hint: she's the flower with the jeans shorts...)
View of the fake Paris of the East from the fake Eiffel Tower. Kinda nice all the same...

The View of the castle at night.


St. Nicholas Church following the performance of Mozart's Requiem.

Days 53-55: Krakow, Poland


St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral, where we saw...


...Vivaldi's The Four Seasons one night and Chopin, Mozart, and Bach the second night.


Our mascot resurfaces.


Moonrise over Wawel Castle.


Supreme irony at Auschwitz. "Arbeit Macht Frei": Work Makes You Free... :(


The lovely Wawel Castle.


This was a new one. A guy drops this off on our table. Didn't even see this kind of hard sell in India.


Surprising calm in front of a flaming dragon. A moment later, Marty's hair gets singed off. Expect no further pictures of Marty for the remainder of the trip, out of respect. Good news Luke, no mop-top Marty for your wedding!


Ghost Marty tries to pick up the sword of Poland.


Kinga's Chapel carved entirely out of salt at Wieliczka's Salt Mine.
