Changing of the guards
Early Saturday morning Amber, Brenda &I woke up to go see the changing of the guards. The changing of the guards only happens two months out of the year, so we couldn’t miss this opportunity. Attending on a weekend was perhaps not as wise as a decision to watching on a weekday because everyone in the city decided to show up that morning. When the ceremony began we were all kept out of the street onto the sidewalk trying to catch a glimpse. Then what seemed like at least 50 guards marched down the street with music playing all in such prestige manner. They marched passed the crowds, past the fountain, and past the gates right outside of the palace. They then began changing positions in a rehearsed manner for what seemed like thirty minuets. Within this time we were able to document with pictures. Overall, I couldn’t believe such a procedure goes into a simple shift change. This was certainly a limited event that was worth seeing and experiencing.
