Where Anne Boleyn lost her head.
The girls and I in front of the guard
The ravens - Legend says that the kingdom and the Tower will fall if the ravens ever leave the fortress. So they keep six and a spare and have their wings clipped so they can never leave.
Trying to be like the costumed people.
The E&R Bear and I.
Tower of London – The ladies and I woke up early and headed to the Tower first thing in the morning. We went to Starbucks and indulged in coffee and breakfast and off the Towers we went. It was raining in the morning so there were no beefeater tours so we used audio guides. I got to see the Crown Jewels! And there were no lines! We were there from 900 until about 4 in the afternoon. While we did the Crown jewel tour, one of the guards started hitting on my friend, Amanda. But he told hilarious and interesting stories. For example, he was a guard of the Queen and there was a kid from Germany on a trip with his school. He got out a water gun and shot the guard. So the guard gave the kid a little hit with his gun. He was also a guard during the fires of Westminster. The guard also told us about how there is only one jeweler for the royal family and there are less than a handful of people who know how to get the jewel out of the cages.
