God Save the Queen

	We went to see the Queen's house today. We took the train to the London Victoria station, then walked up Buckingham Palace Road to Buckingham Palace. She had guards protecting the place so we weren't able to go in and say hi, but we're pretty sure she was there (apparently, if the flag is flying, which it was, she is "in residence").
Here's a picture of a princess in front of the Victoria Memorial, which sits right in front of Buckingham Palace. The other picture is of Big Ben, taken from the Victoria Memorial. St. James's Park is in the foreground. By the way, it was pretty cold today. It was only 7 degrees. It's not as cold as it sounds, though; that's 45 degrees Fahrenheit for you out-of-towners.
