Maymester in Oxford

Tuesday, London, and Today

Tuesday was all day class. Not much really to report on. We were in class pretty literally ALL day. Yesterday was a fun day in London. Monica, Nathan and I went to the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace. We didn't really see much of the actual changing, but we did get to see the parade and all the pomp surrounding it, which was neat. Monica and I took a picture with a police officer that we thought was cute. :-) Afterwards we went Trafalgar Sqaure (where the embassies and galleries are) and had lunch. We past the Queen's lifeguard (mounted police) and a guard about scared us out of our socks!! And then he had a good chuckle about it with his fellow guard. Interesting story, I'll have to tell it in person. We then proceeded to Parliment where we got to sit in the House of Lords and House of Commons galleries. We then toured Westminster Abbey, which was beautiful and then came home. Today was class all morning, until 2:30 p.m. and then I worked on my Warwick pictures and did some browsing around Oxford. Tomorrow morning I leave bright and early for Paris!! We will be catching a bus at 5:10 a.m. It should be quite a weekend!!
