The Royal Palaces
Yesterday, I went to Hampton Court with Kat and Dean. It was pretty cool. The strange thing was that the admission fee cost more then my rail ticket. I found that a bit amusing. We more or less wander the grounds and took some pretty pictures with wabbit. And round and round we went in the maze. The most amazing thing was the great vine, which is even older then the United States. Dean took us back into London in his TVR. We were able to fit both Kat and me in one seat. It was very reminiscent of the time 8 of us crammed into Michelle’s Altima. Yup! Back in the good old college days.
So today, I headed over to Windsor Castle. It was the first sight that I’ve visited that I had to walk through a metal detector. But then again, it is the queen’s residence. I had no idea how big it was. I went to see Queen Mary’s doll collection, and I have to say the detail was just amazing on her doll house. After I got done with Windsor castle, I was going to head over to check out Eton College. But it so dark and dreary. And it was weird seeing the seas of penguins passing by (that’s how the Eton school uniforms look like). Instead, I headed back home to drop off some stuff and to make a batch of brownies before I left to meet up with PW. We’re going for oysters tonight. Yum ..yum.
