This also made walking around hazardous to your health because we kept looking the wrong way first when crossing the street even though they had a "Look Left" or "Look Right" sign painted in the street at each curb.

Victoria in front of Buckingham Palace (6574 bytes)Made our way to Buckingham Palace but missed the changing of the guards.  We were on the go for about 36 hours straight.  We end the day eating and drinking too much at Football, Football, watching esp-name.gif (608 bytes)Espana! and par-name.gif (816 bytes)Paraguay.  What a long Day One!
