A Report on Walks Through London

So a summary of my walks experience: My three favorites were Westminster and St. James, Lambeth and Southwark, and Central Parks.  I loved Westminster and St. James because I got to see London's biggest attractions (Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye) all lit up at night and it was beautiful.  It finally hit me that I'm really here...seven weeks later.  I also did this walk alone, and half of it without a map.  Lambeth and Southwark was a fun walk because it was a beautiful day to walk along the Thames and see the Eye up close and all the street performers and booths.  The pier was so full of life, and the views were incredible.  Central Parks was wonderful too, because we live so close to these magical and historical parks, and it was amazing to walk through them on a late sunny Sunday morning.  Families were meandering, roller bladers skating by, and ducks and swans swimming lazily along the Serpentine.  It was a classic London experience.  And of course, the company on these walks can make all the difference in the world.  I'm grateful for these walk assignments because they forced me to get out and experience parts of London that I didn't know of or was too scared to investigate on my own.

It's been real, London, and I'm going to miss you!
