    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

    If she does I will emigrate back to the UK.
    You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

    One of my neighbours just mentioned something to me: The Queen visiting the USA and not visiting Canada, in the same trip, was akin to a mother visiting her daughter's neighbour without paying her daughter, next door, a visit. After all she is Queen of Canada.

    Well, seeing as the whole "Royal" apparatus is, in this, the 21st. century, a bit of make believe, the above is a good idea, IMHO!
