Changing of the Guard

Stockholm; Thursday, June 22, 2006: The changing of the guard at the royal palace happens at noon, and Robert and I went to see what happens. I was expecting a very short ceremony, but there were announcements and a very impressive show. Unlike guards in Prague or London, the guards at the royal palace in Stockholm will react if you cross the black line outside of their guardhouses.
