I saw pretty much everything I wanted to see, except for a few things (the gardens, mostly). But, I did all of the big things that I wanted to do. I went on a boat ride on the River Thames, I saw (but did not ride, as per recommendation) the London Eye, BIG BEN (I don't know why I really wanted see that, but I was super excited to see it ^_^), and I got to see the changing of the guards! We were very close to them, too. I also learned a few new things, for example; I didn't realize that both Australia and Canada are monarchies under the rule of the King of England. I thought that was very interesting and also offered a little insight into how things will work in the Sweet Shoppe.
Oh! I did try the food that I was hoping to try, namely fish & chips and SHEPHERD'S PIE!!! Shepherd's pie is AMAZING! I wish they made it over here, it was so filling and just made you feel...I don't know...just all warm and fuzzy. I slept well that night. At any rate, the people were friendly, the architecture was gorgeous, the city was very clean, and I loved it. Thanks for the hospitality, from this girl on the East Coast.
Well, now that I'm back home...I'm actually really sleepy. >_<' I'm trying to get back on my regular sleep schedule, but for the past two nights, I've been waking up at 4am. I'm sure I'll get back on track, soon. But, I think I'm going to take the rest of the week off. Also, I need to take care of my dog. I won't go into details, but let's just say that the person who was supposed to take care of him did less than an adequate job of caring for him. So, I'm going to lavish him with attention for the next couple of days.
I'll be posting a few pictures to my
photokitt a bit later. I need to upload them to my computer first, though. I also haven't forgotten about Plum and Sugar. I need to draw their pictures. I already sketched a few poses, so I think I'll be ready to work on something once I've rested a bit. I also need to do a bit of writing, but for now, I'm just going to take it easy. ^_^

There are quite a few of us, in fact! 15 Commonwealth realms in total, most of them in the Caribbean (for now). Technically they're all separate crowns, even if the same head is wearing them. We each appoint a Governor General who acts as sovereign in residence; Canada and Australia also have one Lieutenant Governor/Governor for each of their provinces/states and territories.
