Today I went to the 2005 MacExpo at Olympia’s National Hall in Kensington, London. Overall, the conference and expo were much better than i was anticipating. Apple’s booth had lots of hand-on activities, along with a “classroom” showing-off thier newest products.

This morning I went over to Oxford Circus to check out the Apple Store on Regent Street and look what happened to be across the way. Most excellent for me.
H&M London
Took a tour of “The Official Residence of The Queen” where she spends many weekends. Actually, she was there during my visit… apparently the flag flying on the main tower signified that. After the tour, I took a break at a small café nearby and had a tasty scone with fresh strawberry jam, accompanied by a pot of tea and clotted cream.
Windsor Castle
I visited Stonehenge today… it felt really ‘old’ there, like I was walking around with the ancient people who mapped the sun and the moon with this monument. (unless, of course, UFOs helped them build it for a different purpose!) Overall, the trip out there was more than worth it.

I could almost throw a rock from my hotel and hit Buckingham Palace… but that probably wouldn’t be a great idea because one of those guards with the black Q-tip hats would come after me.

Technically it’s Sunday, but my internal clock is still ticking to Saturday time. Anyway, after an all night flight and then a fiasco of forgetting my backpack (with my laptop, camera, iPod, and other important stuff) on the bus… and then tracking it down and actually finding it, made these lawn chairs in St. James’s Park my favorite thing in London for at least an hour.
