Stopped by Buckingham Palace to visit the Queen yesterday and it turns out - she was there (!) as evidenced by the Union Jack flying ... er..sort of....on the top of the palace.
We walked through Hyde Park a bit, so beautiful, then went over to the Palace and found the side door where my character, Tiki, from THE FAERIE RING, sneaks in and steals the Queen's ring. It's so amazing to be standing here looking at all these places that I wrote about.
Anyway, I really wanted to start this post with Oh. My. God. Because London is SO SO SO amazing! The buildings, the architecture, the history, the people - all of it is so fabulous! We went down to see Big Ben yesterday, as well as the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. We didn't get into the Abbey, as they had closed for the day, but we are going to go back tomorrow. Unbelieveable.
We've been riding the hop-on, hop-off buses, taking the tube and walking - everything is so close and easily accessible. I can see that it will take MANY trips to London to even begin to scratch the surface. SO fabulous! We went to the Museum of Natural History today - the building itself is awe-inspiring, (it was like being dropped into a Harry Potter movie) let alone the collection of natural history. Pictures from that little adventure tomorrow. =)
