Tea Time

Me, Katie, Marie, Trey- Orientation group headed to Uganda!

 We made it through our flight to London! When we arrived in London we had a 10 hour layover so we decided to go to Windsor for a few hours. We had our carry on luggage stored at the airport, got on a bus and went to Windsor to see Windsor Castle! I didn’t think we’d have this much time in London, so I was so excited to find out we had time to see some of Europe since I’ve never been!

 London is a fun and unique city. The buildings are so beautiful and have lots of character. There are shops, restaurants, etc in every spot possible in London, on the streets and in the alley ways. We had lunch at a cute little restaurant called The Drury House, it is Windsor’s oldest established restaurant for over 100 years!! We ate outside in the sun in London, it was a beautiful day.

 We then toured the Windsor Castle! What an amazing piece of art! It was so surreal to be there. As a little girl growing I always read stories and watched the movies of the princesses, princes, queens, kings, etc. at their castles and having parties. It was almost as if I was viewing it from their perspective. The architecture is so magnificent, especially for that time period! Touring through the buildings, seeing the open court yard, the regular guards, and everything else inside was so fun to know that Queen Elizabeth still resides there on most weekends and uses it for special occasions. I felt very honored to have been there. It is a culture and place so foreign to me.
