So we got back in London about a week ago and things have been going well. Jordan's heading home soon for the summer to take care of a few things, so I'll be looking for work here on my own soon. We figured we'd get some touristy things out of the way first, but man is England expensive. Must make the pound, can't spend them anymore haha. We've done some fun things over the last week, the most recent of which was going to Stonehenge, Oxford, and Windsor Castle today. For some reason, I can't connect properly, so I'll put up the pictures first. One funny story though. We went to the changing of the guard expecting a big military procession. Well, that's what we got, but we were somewhat surprised with some of the choices of music the band played. For example, the first song we heard was Copacabana, then the Theme from Indiana Jones, then the Empire Theme from Star Wars (I found this extremely ironic, because in the movie, it's the song for the evil empire. ie. when Darth Vader is on screen haha), and lastly, Hawaii Five-O! Pretty odd, I kind of expected old traditional military tunes, but no go I guess. I guess it's a big show when it comes down to it. Anyway, pics to come later!
Pics:

3) Changing of the Guard at Buckingham (we heard a little girl ask her mom, "Where's the Queen?" It was cute.
4) Tower of London where the Crown Jewels are kept.
5) At Stonehenge where I was perturbed because no one really knows why the stones are there.
6) Windsor Castle, Queen E's favourite place of residence.
7) Stormtrooper hangin' out on the South Bank.
