walking

Sometimes when you have to do certain walks for your London Walks Class (where you basically just follow a route on the map and read the background information on the area) it feels like a forced march.  But sometimes you find amazing things, like really authentic and delicious Italian restaurants or Buckingham Palace or Downing Street, home of the Prime Minister, or friendly Londoners (that's pretty rare in my experience) who tell you about quaint and lesser known places to see  - in this case, the courtyard of King's College.  Sometimes when you go walk through London you start out doing it because you want a good grade in a class, and then in the end you realize you're doing it because you're in love with everything that's beautiful about this city.
