I'm Gonna Soak Up The Sun

Usually I hate warm weather that doesn't require some kind of sweater or sweatshirt when you go outside.  However, today I wanted to soak up every minute I could of the crisp spring day.  So, in between English 395 and Religion, which was our last, I packed my Cath Kidston bag and headed to Kensington Park.
part of the class with Brother Jones
  I first chose a nice tree on the south side of the palace and then moved to a bench.
After religion class, which was our last, I headed back over to Kensington but this time by the pond.  It was so nice to be outside in a park...and so did everyone else.  There seriously were thousands of other people there today.  It was like a public swimming pool on a hot July day.
After dinner I still hadn't been outside enough so Kaylee and Christi invited me on their walk.  We first walked down through Holland Park and then came back and walked down Embassy Row.  Once we were at Kensington High Street we walked down the south side of Kensington Palace and then back up through Embassy Row.  We saw some lights on in the palace and loitered to see if we could spot a royal.  We spot a young man in a striped blue casual collared shirt who had dark hair.  We want to pretend it was Harry in his new bachelor pad, but it probably wasn't.  After stalking the royals we made a quick pit stop back home and then walked down Bayswater til we hit Lancaster Gate.  At that time we had been out almost 2 1/2 hours so we decided to call it a night.  Christi did the calculations and figured out that we walked 5.6 miles.  Not bad for a nighttime stroll.
