London and Vicinity

Happened upon Hyde Park on my run. Apparently Edgeware Road is an Arab/Muslim neighborhood. Just an observation. Lots of different languages and accents. A circle is a circus. Hyde Park has amazing huge trees, and you can barely hear the traffic from the street maybe 100 yards away. Nice asphalt path. Perfect running temps everything seems cheap even though it’s multiplied by 1.25. Kensington Garden is inside Hyde Park. Pretty gorgeous. 

Maybe my favorite thing about the English is we can agree Trump is a dolt. I think if Tank Fest has been in the US I would have hated it, but the huge crowd of mostly Brits was so polite and not obnoxious, it was bearable. Our taxi driver Kate is very nice and down to earth. I like her. The town of Broadmayne is very nice. Small and peaceful. A nice guy at the PO/convenience store drove me to the Coop to get cash. The B&B made us bacon sandwiches for the morning of tankfest since we wouldnt be there for breakfast. I like that the cyclists speak to the walkers. I love hearing the languages spoken from all over the world. All the foliage covering the road is so pretty. I didn’t shut up the entire trip marveling at the flora in all of Britain and Northern France.
