Buckingham surprise

We thought we would try and catch the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, instead we stumbled upon a dramatic "pageant" celebrating the Territorial Army's 100 years of service. They drove past in vehicles from 1908-2008...some of the old Land Rovers were pretty cool. The rest of our day was spent shopping at the Portobello Market in Notting Hill (over-priced junk, good flowers and fruit), at Whole Foods (my Dad insisted, apparently its the largest Whole Foods in the world), and at Harrods (I insisted, and it was worth it!). Johnny got hit by a double-decker bus. He is fine, it just clipped his arm and left a bruise, but it was a close call. Au revoir London! Tomorrow we are off to Nice!
