The Regent's Park walk was lovely! It was a great way to start out the set. I walked with Shelisa, Tara, Sam, Scott, and Nick. Nick and I co-lead on this one. We started the walk from the top of Primrose Hill, where we took in amazing views of London's skyline. We passed St. Mark's Church on our way into the park, which was a cool looking church. I liked its architecture a lot. Once we entered the park, it was so enjoyable to stroll around on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. There were tons of families out, people walking dogs, guys playing soccer, people paddleboating on the lake or enjoying the weather sunbathing in chairs, picnicking, and just strolling around like us. I think English people definitely take advantage of their outdoor spaces and beautiful parks more than us Americans. The last part of the walk through the gardens was really nice. We went into a big rose garden, but they were only just about to bloom, so I want to go back and see them when they are in full splendor! The last part of the walk took us through a really nice area called Chester Terrace, that had great architecture. After two hours, we ended up at Regent's Park Station and took the tube to Camden Markets for lunch!
