London, UK - 28th January 2007
By: guffsbear
Agnes had her first mini-adventure on Sunday with a trip on the London underground (the tube). She felt she reacted well to the pressure and her cheeky personality really shone through, despite the crowded, stuffy, and all around stressful environment. (Needless to say, she got a seat, but gave it up shortly afterwards for a pregnant woman). If only all maps were this easy to read...

Agnes needs to increase her fitness levels in advance of her trip to Peru in August, so she decided to do a walk through some of London's finest parks on Sunday. Starting with a stroll through St. James's Park (her favourite), she moved on to a meander around Hyde Park, and finally, Kensington Gardens, where she popped her head into the Palace to see if she recognised anybody (not today).
Ever intrepid and keen to go where no (wo)man has gone before, she posed for a few pictures around Kensington Palace, first making sure she got a friendly nod from the Guard on the gate. Agnes is always careful to not bring disgrace on her Guide uniform.
She finished up at The Churchill Arms in Notting Hill, a very Irish English pub, which apparently serves excellent Thai food. Agnes was really feeling the cold and went for a hot whiskey... but it has occurred to her that she wouldn't be so cold if she stepped up the pace a notch. Ah well, next time!

Paris, France - 16th June 2007
By: guffsbear
After a long few months of hibernation (touch of agoraphobia), Agnes took a day trip to Paris on the Eurostar. It was very exciting, even if it was her second visit, and she enjoyed slouching about the Latin Quarter in a very let's-pretend-I-am-French-and-impossibly-cool, kind-of way. She was pretty pleased with this snap taken on a park bench in Les Jardins des Tuilleries:
