Thursday afternoon we joined a tour to the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels. No, I was not the tour guide, but as our guide was getting tickets, she asked me to carry the umbrella and move the group to our waiting location. Obviously, I just can't shake that "teacher" look! ;)
The Tower Bridge
The Ravens.
Legend has it that if they fly away the monarchy will fall. So...their wings are clipped. Good thinking, Queenie!
A Beefeater. These guards are the most elite of all the Queen's guards. They are called Beefeaters as they would have to taste the King's beef to make sure it was not poisoned. That's some loyalty for you!
Ross got a turn with the umbrella, too. Scary to think that we were the most responsible looking in the group, isn't it?!
Parliament and Big Ben.
