The Life Guards

We looked for the Palace Guards that wear the big fuzzy hats, the ones you are supposed to make move, smile, laugh, something.  Anyway, the guards at the Palace were wearing normal uniforms. But across the street was the barracks for the guards.  These were apparently practicing.  We later found out, the fancy guards everyone wants their pic with, are only on duty during summer months.  The big fuzzy hats are actually made of real bear fur that gets very heavy during rain, so they dont wear them all the time.  It seems mostly for tourist sake.  These are actually called Life Guards.
