Today after the test, Kelsey, Morgan, Erinn,
Heather, and I found our way to the square of statues right outside Westminster
Abbey where we were able to spot the Queen's carriage!
This feat was extra extraordinary in that at every
stop along the way we were turned away by barricades and policemen. Kelsey
continued to lead us with the use of her phone's map and a picture of the
procession route. In miraculous fashion, after several sprinted blocks (and I
do mean several), we found ourselves outside of one of the most incredible
buildings in the world - with a slim, eyeline shot of guard-lined streets.
After all of the physical exertion, we decided to
stop for a pint at The Geencoat Boy (or something like that). While there, we
were able to join with the locals to watch the Royal family wave from the
balcony. I think they were amused at our perceptions of the Royals and the
Jubilee festivities as a whole.
We met some lovely Brits along the way - a couple near us that took our
picture in front of the flags and a man on the Tube with whom we compared notes of
the procession and wave.
