Did I ever have a chaotic summer. Between roadtripping to Pennsylvania to flying to London and Paris and going to Glacier National Park, it was a level of busy I had not really planned on. That being said I'm still trying to sort through pictures and events and finally organizing enough to make entries. I've been to London a long time ago and was thrilled to go back. I hadn't been to Windsor Castle so it was an entirely new experience for me. The crowds were enormous. I can't stress enough how vital it is to get timed tickets before you go or you will be waiting in line for hours. Our tour group was able to be whisked right through with our tickets, though unfortunately we were on such a tight schedule that we spent less time here than I would have liked. The inside of the palace itself is fabulous and as a historian there were some very recognizable paintings hanging on the wall (particularly the one that you see just about every time a book is identifying Richard III). Because the Order of the Garter had closed down some of the major areas because of their upcoming meeting, we were able to see the front of the chapel where Harry had recently been married, an area that isn't normally open to the public. Windsor is well worth visiting, just make sure you've thought through getting tickets and have plenty of time to see everything.
