and some ENGLISH PARLIAMENT HISTORY...


The LORDS and business men 'influencing' the
PARLIAMENT back in the 1800's -
it's still going on with lobbyists, senators and politicians here.
(The board was getting a little busy and the kids a little
'cached out', so we ended the history lessons of ENGLAND, FRANCE,
LA FAYETTE, SIR WALTER SCOTT, LONGFELLOW, JOHN ADAMS, JOHN QUINCY
ADAMS, CHARLES X, WASHINGTON IRVING...whew......etc.)

PLUS...LOUIS XVIII!

Louis XVIII was FAT!

MES AMIS!

We learned today about La Fayette and his travels
thru the '26 states' in 1824-1825!
(he loved America so much, he even
brought back to France a trunk of ______!)

(the man on the bottom is WASHINGTON IRVING)
(the 'man' on the VERY BOTTOM is Daniel!)
