Tourist Day-Hyde Park

Thursday was tourist day for the expat ladies. We have done so many London Walks that there weren't any left for us to do on Wednesdays! The weather was so beautiful we couldn't imagine being inside a museum or any building. So, we decided to do a walk and picnic through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. The two are pretty much connected with just a small road separating them. Our initial plan was to get off the District Line at High Street Kensington, stroll through Whole Foods Market, which is next door, walk the park loop, and then meet Cata for lunch. To our delighted surprise, H&M, one of our favorite stores, was also right outside the tube stop, so we took a slight detour from the original plan for a little summer clothes shopping. Doesn't everyone need a fun summer top every now and then? We met Cata, our working woman, at Speaker's Corner (a corner of Hyde Park) and had a fabulous Great British Picnic. Adam had fun chasing pigeons and perfecting his bear crawl through the grass.

Today, we are back to more early Spring weather-rain and a sweater! It feels kind of strange to have a peeling sunburn one day and a sweater on the next-especially when it doesn't involve some sort of winter break beach vacation.
