Its our last day in the UK. Today we visited Windsor Castle, and for us all, this one of our favorite stops.The sense of history and majesty we got here is perhaps more emphasized because, well, we speak the language, and a way back in our families, as I mentioned in our Westminster Abbey visit, we may have some relatives. Then again, maybe not.
There is a sense of nobility in the Royals, even for all their family dysfunction, they represent a fascinating (and often bloody, I admit) legacy.
Perhaps the most interesting bit (note, British term) of our tour was St. George's Room, pictured below at left, during a state dinner. Reminds me so much of dinner at our house, perhaps that was the connection I felt.And then, to cap off the day, below is posted what happens when you leave your camera with two teenage girls.
Home tomorrow, thankful, a bit more cultured, and deeply grateful for the journey.
