The day was another early one getting up after a night at the pubs. And it was all to see the town of Windsor and the Castle. I have been here many a times, but it is one of my all time favorite spots to visit here in England. The town of Windsor itself is just great, with the shopping, food, and did I mention the giant Castle that it surrounds? Windsor Castle is the favorite house o the Queen and has been a royal residence, since around 1200 I believe. The state rooms were unfortunately closed, but we still got to tour the outside grounds, and the Famous Queen Mary's Doll House. Its a mini version of Buckingham Palace where ever mini thing is a real replica of the original, and in working order. (Running water!! so cool!)
We also got a tour of the small adjacent town of Eton, the home of Eton College. It is an all boys school for ages 13-18. Prince William and Harry both went there and so have tons of famous and powerful Brits.
We had the same tour guides from the day before and they assured us all the swans would not attack... there were lots!! haha 
I finally got my pic with a British Guard, but in the process of our entire group getting pics we all got yelled at :( I felt really bad b/c it just so happened that my roomie and I were the ones up next when the guy came over and yelled. It had been building though. But we still came out with a pretty funny pic :P No disrespect though!! I <3 The Brits!!
