Europe Then and Now

After class one afternoon in our apartment in Lubbock, Jen and I impulsively hatched a plan to take a trip to Europe. It was 1996 and we college students on the rice and ramen budget but I had a few bucks from selling my truck. We decided if not now, when? And so a few months later we boarded an AA jet from LAX to Heathrow Airport. Here are a few pix of our trip then compared to modern day pix:
