A Walk to Remember

Yesterday I certainly went on one of the most memorable walks of my life--and my camera was at home, charging. Sigh. A friend of mine from High School is studying in London at the Royal Academy of Music, and yesterday we were FINALLY able to meet up besides just seeing each other at church. I got off the tube at Baker Street--yes, Sherlock Holmes' Baker Street--and met her there. She took me for a quick tour of her area, where she now calls home. It was amazing. It was so fun to see where she's been for the last year. After that, we were going to find a place to eat, but instead we just sort of kept walking. That's the problem with me--I like to walk, so I don't have any qualms about just...going. And I especially didn't have any qualms about this walk. We walked down the very famous Oxford Street to Oxford Circus, then went down Regent Street and to Picadilly Circus. We then walked along Green Park and past Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace. Yep.... . We kept going and pretty soon I was face to face with Westminster Abbey, and behind that, Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Sigh. I wish I could describe how amazing it was. All of these places that you see in movies and on postcards, and I was right there! Poor Rachel was probably thoroughly annoyed at my constant gasping and sighing and bursts of incredulous laughter. We ate Belgian Waffles covered in whip cream and strawberries as we walked along the Thames to get to the tube station. Alas...I had no camera with me. Which means I have to go back. Darn..... I think I can handle it. My big issue of the day is deciding between the British Museum and Westminster Abbey. Hmmm.....
