Walks on July 18th & 20th in London

On July 18th, I flew to London for the first stop in a long trip for work. The afternoon was free, so I went for a walk with a coworker through Hyde Park, SOHO, and back along the Thames and Buckingham Palace to our hotel in South Kensington. It was a death march.

After a filling British dinner, I walked back in the dark and hoped that a carriage would offer me a ride to London past.

Can I get some action from the dog section?

The next and last day, I had to sit in a casting office and decide the fate of a never-ending stream of hopeful actors.

I was feeling sad missing out on London, so I set the alarm for 5:30 in the morning and went for a walk before we left for the airport.

My route took me to Paddington Basin and back.

Lovely set. I liked the peppermint houses and the matching turban. Wish I was wandering with you.
