day 11

oh what will we do today? its a big secret...unfortunately the secret had already been revealed but thats ok. thursday we went to buckingham palace where we had the honor and privelege to watch the changing of the guard from inside the gates of buckingham palace. i feel very lucky to be part of only the second group that was able to do so. the changing of the guard represents what i think of when i think about British culture and history. its very formal and the grandeur of the entire event is awesome. i hear that the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown is very similar except they dont have 20 lb bearskins on their heads
