we began the day at westminster abbey.
it's like walking through an indoor cemetery where only important people are allowed to be buried from the last 600 years or more.
I saw where all sorts of kings and queens and dickens and austen and the like we're buried.
it was all very cool (in a slightly creepy manner).
in addition to a huge burial ground...I saw the exact place where kings and queens have been crowned for the last hundreds and hundreds of years.
AND the famous coronation chair ("I HAVE A VOICE!!").
weird that graffiti was around even hundreds of years ago.
who on earth would scratch their name into the coronation chair?!!
we headed down the street (missed our bus and had to wait 15 minutes for the next) and saw an old man playing the bagpipes on a bridge over the thames river (which we were crossing).
my mom stopped to take a video/picture (we were on the other side of the road)...and a fellow on a bicycle attempted to photobomb her picture and totally smiled at the camera when passing by.
he didn't make it into any of her pictures, but it definitely gave me a good chuckle.
