Alright, so this post is also about Friday, but I'm writing it up separately because it's just about the two walks that I did, so many of you mightn't find this particularly interesting.
The first walk I did was the Westminster walk. I went with Amy C and Sydnie on this walk, and we actually did it in two stages. We did about half the walk before we went on our tour at the Globe, and the second half we did after the tour. Sydnie was the leader for the walk.
I really enjoyed the walk. We walked through the sector of town that Amy called the "D.C. part of London" or in other words we walked past all of the government buildings. We saw a car get pulled over by a police officer on a horse, which was probably the most entertaining thing I've ever seen.
The black car's the one he pulled over.
We also spent a lot of time at Buckingham Palace. I'd been there before, during the wedding, but I hadn't been back since, so it was nice to get some good pictures and see it up close. We asked these people to take our picture, and they ended up being from Park City! As we were talking to them about Utah this other guy who was passing by was like, oh hey, I graduated from BYU! So we go halfway across the world and are standing in front of Buckingham Palace and we run into a bunch of people from Utah. Small world.
Unfortunately, all of the pictures that actually contained people (and therefore are the ones that you guys would be interested in) are on Amy's camera. So I'm going to have to get those from her later. I do have a picture of me in front of Big Ben though.
Big Ben is so beautiful.
Anyway, that was the first walk I did that day. The second walk I did after dinner with a big group of people. We did the Lambeth walk. There was me, Emily L, Sydnie, Amy C, Emily K, Sarah J, Macy, Hannah and Miles Miller, Makenna, and I think perhaps a couple of others that I can't remember. I'm not entirely sure.
It was a really nice walk though. Emily L led us. We found this really neat children's park and had a lot of fun playing in there for about a half an hour before the park closed. The other really noteworthy place on the walk was, of course, seeing Parliament all lit up across the water.
See the lights?
It was a very relaxing sort of walk. Pleasantly cool, neat park, a good stroll and so forth. I think we're getting better at not getting lost on these things, so we now have much more of a chance to simply chat and enjoy ourselves. Anyway, it was lovely.
