WHAT a day. Woke up to seeing the Queen! She opened Parliament today so there is a huge procession through the streets that pedestrians can see. We stood in line on the street and watched the entirety of Royal Guard and the cavalry pass by in all of their grandeur. Just amazing. Then she was there in her royal carriage, followed by her crown that has its own separate carriage! Saw her up close! After we all regained from such a sight, we headed to lunch and ate in the middle of Trafalgar Square. Such powerful monuments-- enormous in size and just stunning. Afterwards we headed to the London Eye and experienced London from all angles-- breathtaking in the least. We laid in the surrounding park for a bit after Cadburys and ice cream then headed to...Abbey Road! Took the infamous Beatles pic in one shot, so we counted ourselves pretty lucky. Then we headed to the Beefeaters and made one almost crack a smile with our commentary during photo taking. Should have left our number, now that I think about it, as he was very cute. Headed to our favorite burger joint afterwards (they know us at this point) and discussed how we've covered nearly every inch of London!
