Make Way for the Queens Guard

Did London - lots of cool stuff from the movies - Disney should take note. We managed to happen on Buckingham Palace when some marching bands were out, and then on the Horse Guard when they were changing the guard - lots of ceremony, stomping and flashing of sabers. All very British.
Anne Rutter, one of the British CSJs showed me around and kept saying that so much had changed from her student days - some 30 or 40 years ago. I'm with the sisters here in Morden - they are lovely. Wimbleton is on - you would think it was the world series or something the way they go on about it.
Oh, I think I committed a little cultural blunder when I was trying to point out where I saw a sign for the underground we were looking for: it's there, I said, by that pile of rocks. Oh, you mean the old wall, said she. Oops....
Anyway, great weather, lots of folks, lots of history. I'm also finding all the sites from my buddy Francis Thompson. Things aren't quite as I pictured. More of London today, then on to Wales tomorrow.
Peace,
Amy
