Today was a special day for everyone. We went to Windsor Castle (a portion is pictured above). Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation. It may be the most famous castle in the world. The castle's floor area is approximately 484,000 square feet. But there was an added treat. Prof. Parkhouse showed us that when a specific flag is flying above the Round Tower (pictured on the far left) the Queen is in residence. And low and behold the flag was soaring! But unfortunately we weren't allowed to take any pictures. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful place. Full suits of armor, gigantic paintings of the royal family, swords, guns, the Queen's doll house, statues and busts, Windsor Castle was lavish. We all agreed that we had never seen so much gold painted and fixed to the ceilings and walls. It was great.
