Windsor Castle!

Trafalgar Square
 Trafalgar Square is a public space and tourist attraction in central London, United Kingdom, built around the area formerly known as Charing Cross. It is in the borough of the City of Westminster. At its centre is Nelson's Column, which is guarded by four lion statues at its base. There are a number of statues and sculptures in the square, with one plinth displaying changing pieces of contemporary art. The square is also used for political demonstrations and community gatherings, such as the celebration of New Year's Eve.
 We meet up with Brenda Hardy near here and started our tour of London. 


Nelson's Column


 After meeting up and figuring out the train system to Windsor Castle we headed out to the country side to tour the castle. 
Windsor Castle...the queen was not in residency since her flag was not flying.

Got to keep the rocks perfectly even...kind of a waste of money if you ask me!!

 Lots of pictures of Windsor Castle!  Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. The castle is notable for its long association with the British royal family and for its architecture.

After we finished touring the castle we walked around the town area and ate dinner.
