Buckingham Palace

Last night, my friends and I went out and had a really great time. A word to the wise, though: when going out in the evening in London, wear a jacket. It's not a particularly warm place.

Today was our first day off, so my friends and I went to see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. I use the term "see" loosely, though, because there were so many people there that we couldn't see anything at all. I got a few pictures, though, and just being there was cool. The palace was really beautiful!



The weather was rather gross today, so after the Changing of the Guard, we went to the National Gallery. We weren't allowed to take pictures there, but we did get to see some famous paintings by Van Gogh and Monet. It was really cool to get so close to art I've learned about in school!

Tomorrow we're getting up bright and early and taking a weekend trip to Wales with our program. I probably won't be able to post anything until Sunday night, but expect castles, sheep, and mine shafts! ...Yeah, I'm a little confused too.
