Hampton Court Palace # 2

Once we had danced the afternoon away with the King, Anne and the Queen (they literally taught us two medieval-ish dances that, although simple, my Red Wing'ed feet had some difficulty with: the Pavan (to the right, to the left, three steps forward, three steps back....can ya dig it?!) and the Horse's Brawl), we decided to go outside to the gardens for lounging and eating and some of us...sleeping.
They had these crazy, perfectly manicured trees that someone pointed out look like a Smurf's house. This is supposed to be me 'wearing' one of the trees as a hat - I don't know if that came through too well...
Here we are, come to wake those who slept and getting ready to see more gardens - can you tell I'm the American. I think in every other photo on my camera I had the 'thumbs up' signal going on! Oh those American tourists...
