I am staring at that title right now. That has to be the lamest title. Where has my creativeness gone? Oh...probably into the billion and a half papers and projects I am working on because we finish classes tomorrow. Eh.

Anyway, despite that lame title, this place was pretty neat.

The palace dates back to at least Henry VIII (I think it is a bit older than that but I don't feel like checking dates right now). They had people walking around in costumes to enhance the effect. I even ran into King Henry. He seems...intense. That guy needs to chill. And his poor wife (I believe it was his 5th(!) wife with him at that moment) was a bit nervous and jittery...hmmm...wonder why....? Ah history :)

I hung out with Emma and Ross for a bit and went to check out this "world-famous" hedge maze.

That was the most disappointing thing I think I have ever experienced. You could see through the hedges and it was really small and there were maybe three places where you actually had to decide which way to go. Really lame. I am really confused why that is supposedly a world-famous maze...maybe the world's easiest/lamest maze? That seems likely.

I ended up striking off on my own after that because I wanted to see more of the palace and they both wanted to hang in the garden for a little longer. The palace is neat. However, I must say, after being in Windsor, nothing really compares. It has a lot of art and impressive rooms but it really felt like all the other places we have been to. It may be because I have seen so many similar sites in such a short amount of time, but the novelty has worn off a bit. But I enjoyed it and it is cool to imagine owning that kind of place and walking through the halls at night (which must be unbelievably scary because it was pretty dark in there even in the daytime).
