This morning we didn't have class (only Monday thru Thursday), so we got up at about 9:30 and went to the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. We took the tubes to get there. The more and more I go on the tubes, the more I seem to like the system of transportation they have in place here. Seems really well done and there are really no problems getting around anywhere.
The ceremony was pretty cool. It was warm today so it was pretty hard to stand around there but we made it thru the whole thing. I will also put up a few videos this time if I can. I wasn't really sure what was going on the whole time since we were standing back pretty far from the main thing. A few cool things happened during it tho. When we were standing there, the Queen actually came out in a car to leave. I only caught a glimpse but everyone was like "The Queen! The Queen!". The picture I got of the cars was a quick shot trying to catch it. Another thing was the music they played during the ceremony. One was the theme from Indiana Jones and the other was from Star Wars. You might be able to hear it in the video if I can get it up.
After the guard, we went to get a quick bite to eat and see the Millenium Bridge. We learned about the bridge in our engineering classes since it was so poorly constructed initally and had alot of problems. I forget the specifics but I am sure Google has the answers somewhere.
After all that, I came back and crashed for a nap. Felt really good since anywhere you want to go requires a ton of walking.
All the pictures should be up pretty quick here.

Can't wait to see the new pictures, sounds like fun.
Tom,
I think you should post some pictures with you guys in them... so I know you are there and not still in Oshkosh! Ha ha. Love and miss you TJ.
I don't have any pictures of myself cause I don't like having to make people take my camera and take a picture of me with something.
You with a mug of beer would be good
