I just had the perfect last day in London. I decided I wanted to see Buckingham Palace this morning, so took my double-decker bus down across the Waterloo Bridge.
Then I walked down the South Bank and across to Westminster.
As I approached St. James Park I kept seeing all these police officers. Then I started hearing drums. As I neared the Palace there were tons of people lined up along a parade route.
Turns out it's the Queen's birthday celebrations. 15 minutes waiting and a mini-bus with reject royals rode past.
Then Harry, William, and Camilla passed in a carriage. Unfortunately Camilla's hat blocked William from me. Looks like I'll have to enchant him with my beauty some other day. Cough, cough.
Then! Then the Queen rode by. She looked...old. But her blue outfit was quite fetching.
I was just thinking that I was bummed I hadn't gotten to see her while I was here. I went to her church back in October, but she wasn't at Windsor that day. Definitely an awesome "right place at the right time" moment this morning.
Tomorrow is Maryland! But now I must pack. Boo.
