Drive By Shooting

Well, we shot the Queen... yes, the Queen of England.

Long live the Queen!

Apparently, she is doing a whirlwind tour of Slovakia. Obviously, she brought the blustery British weather with her!

Part of her tour of Bratislava included a visit of Devin Castle...which is in the neighborhood of my work. So, although we didn't actually get to sit down and have a proper cup of tea with Ol' Lizzy, we did get a good glimpse of her as she sped by the school. We "shot" her on film(see below).

The guys were a bit surprised that there would be a real, live Queen in Devin. Gabie asked - “you mean like a King? A King’s princess? like a real Queen?”

This is now our 2nd "queen sighting" we have had. The first was Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands last year.Both seemed like nice, well dressed grannies. But still, very much ‘proper ladies.’



The guys were for sure more impressed by the police escort then the Queen herself!
