London Tour

Susan will continue her tour of London and Warwick, England, today and tomorrow.

Today she will:
-go to Buckingham Palace and watch the changing of the guard,
-join Henry the VIII for a Medieval banquet lunch (he must be really old by now),
-explore the Tower of London, where famous prisoners Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh were confined,
-Meet the Yeoman Warders "Beefeaters", who guard the tower,
-cruise the River Thames,
-see a London theater performance.

Tomorrow Susan will:
-meet a current or former member of Parliament and learn about the British Constitution and discuss the roles of  the House of Commons, the House of Lords and the Monarch,
-tour the Cabinet War Rooms where Sir Winston Churchill's underground headquarters were stationed during WWII,
-stay overnight at the medieval Warwick Castle and learn about medieval battle preparations, dances, and rituals from re-enactors.  She will also get to see the firing of the world's most powerful catapult!

Are you jealous yet?
