First, the Central Parks walk was one of my favorites as it was my first walk here and it started things off right. I remember we did it right after the changing of the guards that Saturday in a fairly large group, but it was a great chance to get to know one another while walking and talking. And I remember it really set a good tone for the program and got me excited for the semester ahead. I really enjoyed walking through St James Park overlooking Buckingham and then onward to Green Park and Hyde Park. I loved this walk seeing how everything was inter-related and how connected we were at Palace Court to these other parks and places. I'm glad I did this walk as my first one, as now I run frequently in Hyde Park and over to St James and Buckingham, due to and because of this walk making me see how close we really were to it.
Second, my next favorite walk was the SoHo walk. I remember Ashley Jorgensen and I led this one together and it was just a really fun "hip" one. There were a lot of fun shops and restaurants to walk by. I remember loving and getting so excited for all the fun entertainment that existed on this posh walk. There were cool pubs, shows close by at Covent Gardens, Chinatown, as well as American brand name shops and unique restaurants. This walk opened my eyes to all the fun cool things London had to offer.
And last but certainly not least, my favorite walk was Regents Park. We did this walk on such a beautiful day out and the view up on Primrose Hill was amazing. It was such a great look-out point that I have since run up to by myself and I felt such a peace at top. I also loved the ponds, flowers and gardens on this walk. This walk was just left me with a great feeling inside afterwards. I think I saved the best for last by doing this walk at the end!
Thanks, Paige, for completing this assignment; it'll help me figure out which walks to include for spring term. I appreciate your wonderful work in the walks and writing course.
