London: Day 3 (Summer 2016)...Yes. I'm Backdating

Day 3 in London included Kensington Palace (having just seen Will and Kate drive past us on the street as we walked there); high tea at the Orangery on the Kensignton grounds--deLISH! A quickish walk through the park to see the Albert Memorial and the Diana Memorial, then the from Paddington Station (yes, THAT Paddington) by train (where Shauna met some darling British business men, in insurance, they told me, and she was offered a job after a long complex conversation about "Brexit" vs. US presidential politics) to Windsor where we saw the entire group of Royals--from across the green--getting into cards to head to Ascot for the day as well as Steve Young (Yes, THAT Steve Young) with his family touring the Windsor grounds. a quick bite in the Horse and Groom for fish n' chips--another pub to check off my list--and another train trip into the city. Then we topped the day off with a ride down the Thames on a water taxi where we saw the London Bridge in the most beautiful light.
