Final Post

I loved the Lambeth and Southwark walk. It was very enjoyable and I also got to know some of the Miller kids and other students in the program a little bit better which was fun. Walking next to the Thames River in the evening was beautiful. It was a lot of fun. Playing at the playground was also really fun, even though it was a little childish.

Another walk that I loved was Bankside to Southwark. The reason I loved this one is because I did this one pretty early on in the program. Before I came to London one of the things that I thought of when thinking of London was the tower bridge. So when I did this walk I thought it was really awesome that I got to walk over the bridge like that. It was beautiful and I loved how it lit up the way it does. It was really cool!

The Inns of Court was also a fun one, this was another one of my favorites. I loved walking around with not a lot of people around. It was also fun because a lot of cute little shops would pop up around every corner and that was a lot of fun. It was fun to go through all the narrow passageways and see the little inns. It was a really cool walk. Mostly I just loved the nice quiet walk through the city and seeing things without a ton of other people near by.

Bloomsbury

This walk was a fun one. Our group never got lost once which was really nice. This walk was also just really enjoyable. There seemed to just be a lot of places for sick children. I felt like every block there was a hospital, or just something medical. It was also really cool to see Dicken's House. It was funny because we didn't even realize we were coming up on it and then all of a sudden we just passed it. It was pretty funny at the time.

Lambeth and Southwark

This was easily the most enjoyable walk that I had. A big group of us did this walk on a Sunday Evening and it was very enjoyable. I loved walking down by the river, it was beautiful. There weren't too many people, all the people were there just to enjoy the evening by the river. A really fun thing that we did at the beginning of our walk was play on a playground. We all just sat around and played and wished that we could just play all night. This was one of my favorites!

Bankside and Southwark

I loved this walk. It was a perfect walk to go on on a Sunday. I thought that it was really pretty. It was also fun we passed a little park that we played on for a bit which was really fun. A lot of the walk was next to the river and it was just really peaceful. It seemed like a great hang out spot for people on sundays. I thought there were a lot of people there, it looked like they were just having a good time. There were also some fun places to just eat lunch and shop and things like that. It was a great walk, this one was one of my favorites.

Inns of Court

This walk was also another fun one to do. McKenna, Sarah and I did this walk together. Of course McKenna wanted to go into every little shop that we passed. So when we passed Sir John Soane's Museum we had to go in because McKenna wanted to. It was really cool actually. There was just a bunch of art and things like that that we were able to look at. It was also cool to go into another flat and kind of see what it was like inside. This walk was really enjoyable especially because the weather was so nice.

The City

This walk I went with Sarah and McKenna and it was fun to be with them. We went on a Saturday night so it was pretty quiet, almost just creepy. My number one favorite thing from that walk was looking in the window of Ben's Cookies. I love that place! We passed through a bunch of the business places in the city which was cool. It was crazy because we almost got all the way down to the river and realized we were totally going the wrong way.

Soho to Trafalgar Square

This walk was pretty interesting to say the least. We did this walk right after church because it starts right at the train station that we go to on the way to church. So it was kind of an interesting walk to do on your way back from being spiritually enlightened. I wasn't super observant so I didn't see some of the sketchy shops that others saw, I only saw a couple shops that were a little risque. We passed the toy museum which I kind of wished that we could have gone into. I think that would have been really cool. It was interesting because I thought it would be a lot more busy than it was, but it wasn't too bad.

Central Parks

Well I am not going to lie, I was very lost on this walk. I decided I was going to go for a run through this walk. But as soon as I walked out of the tube I was lost. I finally made it back on track to be where I was supposed to be. I saw Speke's Monument which was pretty cool. What I thought was really cool was Wellington Arch. That whole area I loved, I thought it was really cool. But this was a fun walk to go on. It was a really nice day and a perfect walk to go for a run on.

Fleet Street and St. Paul's

This walk was a pretty exciting one. We got a little bit lost during it so it was really interesting to see what was around. We passed by a lot of interesting shops. They looked like really nice places for men to buy suits and cigars. It was really interesting. There was also a cool church that we passed by and also small little alleyways. It was a fun walk to go on.

Westminster and St. James

For this walk it was a lot easier because it was a smaller group. I was the leader for this walk. Correy, Katherine, and Kelsey all came on this walk. Correy was our photographer for this picture. I really enjoyed this walk. We were able to see Buckingham Palace, Westminster and Parliament. It was beautiful especially because we saw it just during the sunset so everything just seemed so beautiful. We passed a park on the way too which looked like it would be really nice to relax in as well. I love the parks here!

Regent's Park

We went with a pretty big group of people on the Regent's Park walk. This was a very pretty walk, I loved the big park and how green it was. We saw a few groups of girls that had just gotten married which was kind of cool to see. It was also nice when we took a break in the shade in the park under a tree.
