How I arrived in Leeds, England

How I arrived in Leeds, England 


On 22nd of July we left Tuscaloosa, Alabama to go to Leeds, England on the AM-Track Train. 


This is the train route I took.

We then arrived in New York City on the 23rd of July. We saw two plays. One was Around the World in Eighty Days. The other was Monkey Journey to the West which is a Buddhist tale.


I took this picture from the Queen Mary II

On the 27th of July we left New york on the Queen Mary II. The Queen Mary II is the largest ocean liner in the world. It has a planetarium, a ballroom, a theater, has 157,000 horse power, has an estimated weight of 150,000 gross tons, and is approximated to cost 800,000,000 to make.
