Tremendous Welcome for the Queen.

[Ebby1954]

Have been waiting around all day and finally got a glimpse of Qeen Elizabeth at the Capitol here in Richmond, Virginia. Most of the streets where closed off (security issues) and thousands of people are arriving here for the car racing that will be taking place tomorrow. Thousands turned out to welcome her. She had to climb about 40 steps up to the Capitol, she made it without gaspng for breath---she did better than I did. It felt like part of my beloved England came to visit me---made me feel proud.

Norm,
It was really great to see the Queen. Getting through the traffic was a nightmare but when I got to see her---it was worth it!
Everybody here is amazed how she walked up those 40 steps to the Capitol with no help from anyone---when she got to the top she wasn't even breathing heavy. Governor of Virginia Tim Kaine was walking up the steps beside her, he kept stopping and talking, I believe he was doing this because he was having a hard time making it up those steps.
Keep In Touch
