This morning, I woke up at 5:30 so we could leave by 7. We ended up bumping into a few other Americans on campus who were also headed towards central. The ride there was curiously quiet and empty, and even when we got out of Green Park Tube Station, it wasn’t so bad. We walked around Green Park to try to get into Buckingham Palace or the Mall but by the time we got there, the guards said it was full. So, we headed to Green Park where we settled down to watch the giant TV screens. It actually worked out better because we got to see a live cast of the entire ceremony (as opposed to the people outside the Palace who only saw their carriage drive by). It was supposed to rain but never did! And it was a beautiful moment when Kate stepped out of the limo and the sun shone through the clouds.
