The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Yesterday, in honor of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, there was a river parade on the Thames. Over one thousand boats participated. And despite all the beautiful weather we've been having, it rained. But that's okay, because that's pretty typically British, yes?

Afterward, the trains were absolutely rammed. I can't even imagine what kind of chaos the Olympics will bring. It should be interesting.

Tonight there's a big concert at Buckingham Palace, featuring Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney and others. They've set up big screens all over Hyde Park and St. James's Park. We'd talked about going into central to see it, but after spending the last three days running all over London, I just want to stay in.

Anywho, today's a bank holiday, and tomorrow's a public holiday. (I asked Hannah what the difference was, but she didn't know.) So we'll still be celebrating.

Happy Diamond Jubilee to you!
