We have several days before our classes start on Monday. We have a few group trips planned but most of our time is for us to explore on our own. We went to Buckingham Palace and watched the changing of the guards. The changing of the guards was cool, probably the largest gathering of tourists anywhere in Britain. It was really cool to watch, they wore Grey fluffy hats and seems to vary in size (I assume the more important you are the larger and fluffier your hat becomes). They marched past us and before I knew it the magical moment was over. We also checked out Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. Westminster Abby was neat because it had the graves of some important folks inside. I am now able to claim that I have walked on Darwin's grave. Take that evolution! Apart from that the only other cool place we visited was Trafalgar Square with lots of lions and a statue of Lord Nelson.
take that evolution! haha!
