Our local guide spun stories this morning as we toured London. We learned that “the City” means the old city founded by the Romans. We learned about the gates of old London. We learned about the Blitz and St. Paul’s Cathedral. We learned…. We learned….
Not under arrest! Balmoral’s finest with some of London”s Finest
Ciara and Nicole on the steps of St. Paul’s
At St. James’ Palace two guards are on duty when the Queen’s in residence. This means double the chance for a photo.
The guards are not normally allowed to talk but this one couldn’t resist remarking on how Nathan’s hair resembled his own bear-pelt hat. Steady on soldier.
We lucked out and watched as they changed the guards. There was no ‘Changing of the Guards’ at Buckingham Palace that day.
At Big Ben? No, at the Clock Tower. You can’t see Big Ben because he’s the hour bell inside the tower. Oh the things we’ve learned.
A dinner of ‘bangers and mash’ at an inn on Fleet Street.
Stay tuned for our next day’s blog: Student’s reflections on their time in London.
