England and the monarchy

Wow! Amazing pics! Are you a traveling nurse, btw? You always have cool photos from different places! :)

I love reading your travelling thoughts - you seem to always pick something different to talk about, that you don't hear in other people's stories.

And lovely photos, too. One day I'll go to England, just to be pushed out of the courtyard in Buckingham Palace to make way for the Queen.

I don't know what I think about the royal family, actually. I mean, sure, it's a grand old tradition and everything, but why are they the best people to oversee decisions for the masses? And she's the Queen of Australia, too, despite never really coming over here, and we still need her approval for some things! That's silly.

Thanks! I love traveling and absorbing the "essence" of new places. I have a lot more writing to do (and pictures to post) about England. I would highly recommend going there. Next on my list of places to visit: China!

The pomp and circumstance around the British royalty was intimidating for me. I still don't understand it fully. Isn't she queen of Canada, too?
