A dinner date with the Queen??

---

arrived in England on the 22nd sept from New York...so jet lagged!
Got picked up from Heathrow by Nikki (thanks!!)

Went and checked out Windsor castle, hoping that we might run into the queen and get invited up for tea and scones...unfortunately for us it didnt happen (apparently she was at buckingham palace) but we did get a few tips on how to pick up Prince William!

Checked out Buckingham Palace, the Big Ben and Leciester Square, with tour guide Russ...got a few ideas on how to jump the wall of the palace and go visit the queen, but decided against it, for the time being....

Went wondering by myself another day and tried to find the London Bridge (or is it the London tower? i cant remember...) but never did find it...I still dont know what went wrong there...

Hehe
The "stuff" in the photo with Big Ben are the houses of parliament (government stuff) and the river Thames. The Globe Theatre burned down and was rebuilt on the same spot, and Big Ben is actually the bell in the clock, not the clock itself but not many people know that :)
