I couldn't be there but...

...other people with the BCC could! Last week Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh visited Slovakia for the first time...EVER. It was just a 2 day excursion, but that doesn't mean that the Royal Couple was BOMBARDED with activity. It ranged from everything from meeting political figures, extravagant dinners, folk dance exhibitions, unveiling important art pieces, kissing babies (ok not really, thats more an American politician thing), visiting the High Tatra mountains, speaking at a global climate seminar, and OPENING A HOCKEY GAME! Busy, right? The British Embassy and other important organizations had been preparing for MONTHS. I think all the work paid off, at least from what I've read about how everything went. A funny tidbit I picked up from those who attended the lunch/dinners was that Slovak dignitaries were in a tizzy because during Queens tour of Central Europe she stopped in Slovenia, and they gave her a horse as a gift! I guess they weren't sure how they could top that. Such is the life of a celebrity. I just hope she donates everything to charity.
