Today Devin had class so Heather and I waited for Chris to come over to head to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards.

Yes, I said Chris. Chris is a good friend of mine from Yukon, Ok. We were sitting in the flat the night before and our door phone rang, our flats are all locked so there is a key pad on the front door for you to call a flat to see if the person is home. Devin answered the phone and he asked for Megan Wells... Devin said yea who is this... he said this is Chris McCullough. I got on the phone and asked how he got this number and he said I am at the front door. So I did not know how to let him in so I ran up to the door. Chris happened to be traveling Europe for 30 and was in London and not only London but only one block away from our flat. That just blows my mind! I could not believe it.

So when Chris made it over we headed out. When we got to buckingham Palace it was filling fast with tourists! We stood by the gate and admired the guards in their red coats and their bear skin hats! We were pushed out of the way for most of the changing of the guards but I was able to hold Heather up to see and get some pictures!

Next we were off to the Queens Gallery! This was amazing it was full of china sets and pictures and jewelry all part of the Queens collection. This was neat but no pictures were allowed!

Finally our last stop of the day was the Royal Mews, this is where the royal horses are kept. We saw the stalls, the buggy, the royal carts pulled by the horses, and we even got to see some of the horses. After this we headed home and met Devin for dinner!
