The next day Dad and I took the bus to Caernarfon Castle. This was the first castle I visited on my first fieldtrip. It is the one where Prince Charles was crowned the Prince of Wales. This is a huge castle and very neat, so naturally, I wanted to take Dad to it. We left Bangor with a lot of people standing around the train station because the Queen of England was coming to visit. She hadn't been to Bangor since the 60's so it was a big deal. We arrived at Caernarfon in about 20 minutes and
walked straight to the castle only to find a bunch of people standing around. Apparently, the Queen was visiting the castle the same day as well! My Dad and I couldn't believe our luck. We wanted to go see the castle and the Queen of England decides to show up the same time as well. We walked around the back where a police man stopped us. We asked him if the Queen was coming around this way and he said, I can't tell you that sir. But then the policeman said, If you go behind these gates right over the
re, you are going to get a better view of her than the people standing at the front. So basically he told us that the Queen was coming around there. We waited for a little while until a fancy car with a lot of policemen following showed up. And who stepped out? The Queen!!! She waved at the crowd (of course a security guy got right in my way when she waved so I couldn't get a picture of her waving) and stepped into the castl
e. She was dressed all in pink with a hat to match. Dad and I walked around the castle to the front at the Queen's gate and waited with the rest of the people for the Queen to show up and wave again to everyone. There were so many people! The Queen came out and waved to everyone. She didn't stay for very long but while she was in there, my Dad and I walked around
the town for a little bit. She left not long after that and Dad and I were able to go into the castle. He absolutely loved it! It was so enjoyable to have him around, showing him the castle. We stayed for a while there and then headed on back to Bangor. I had my art class that evening and I needed to finish a paper for OP. The next day Dad left to finish touring London and visit the town of Portsmouth where the H.M.S Victoria was at. He was going to be back on Thursday, after I got back from OP. And boy was outdoor pursuits fun . . . . . .
