Her year of magical travelling (Part 3)

Grainy photo of Lola with a slight breeze blowing her skirt
Here I have to go with the captions she wrote with her fountain pen on her souvenir photos of that time in Europe in the '50s. Lola doesn't identify her companions. I surmise she must've been part of a group tour or these other women are fellow Methodists or are connected with the "Y" (Young Women's Christian Association). If only pictures can speak, but thanks, Lola, for leaving so many things to remember you by.
At Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guards
 Lola (middle) carries an umbrella, apparently a "must" accessory in London.
Flower gardens, also a must stop somewhere in Europe
At the Vatican Square
St. Peter's Cathedral in her inscription
Same threesome outside the Vatican Museum
Taking her own picture with her Brownie camera on a street of Paris
Wish I was there.
Who's the looker on the right, Lola?
Home again for a hearty lunch. Caption in her own write reads: "Bienvenida party given by the children. Watch out!"
