Windsor Castle

I took the train down to Windsor today-- an old friend of my mother's lives there, and I thought it would be nice to see a familiar face. I was able to use all my skills at navigating the Underground, Overground, and National Rail to get over, all through neighborhoods and pastures. There were even sheep and lambs-- it's definitely springtime here!

Windsor was lovely. We went to the castle, of course, since there's not a whole lot to do in Windsor. Besides, how could I go to Windsor and not see the residence of the reigning monarch?

The castle was suitably impressive-- state rooms and Rembrandts, china and chandeliers... there's a great view of the town from the castle as well.

I arrived back in London around five, and I decided to head down to the South Bank of the Thames to wander around. I had meant to go down to the Globe, but saw St. Paul's Cathedral across the river and just had to check it out. Unfortunately it was closed by the time I got there, but now I know where it is, and it was a lovely walk.

All in all, it was a great day-- good company, good food, and great sites.

And for a change, here's a picture of me!
