Forgive me for leaving you hanging with a blank post. How lame. I'd like to pretend like I did this walk because I was really craving a stroll in the rain, but that would be a lie. Soooo I'll confess just once, that I looked through the book, found the shortest one, grabbed my partner in crime-Haley, and we ran out the door. It is late and I'm confessing things, so I'll just keep right on confessing... I had absolutely not one clue what the Inns of Court were. Sooo shoot me. Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, Middle Temple, and Inner Temple are where lawyers train and then practice. Ok so after reading that I was a bit interested, shout out to the lawyer brothers, I do care about them. This is smack dab in the middle of legal London. We stopped along the way and took photos of things we needed to look up when we got home, because even though we were freezing our hineys off, we were a bit on the intrigued side. That is why Haley is not only a fearless walk leader, but a smart one at that. I love that we can have intelligent conversations, and I value her opinion a lot. Unicorns have become something that I notice straight away since being here. Maybe because of somebody's odd obsession with them, or maybe because they are everywhere, but anyways, the ones in Charles Dickens' Old Curiosity Shop were certainly something of interest to us. I heart Charles Dickens. Always have, always will, and the longer I am in London the more I learn about him, and I love him even more.
In the end I was grateful for both this walk, the new knowledge I gained, Haley, and Starbucks waiting for us at the end of the tunnel. Mostly I was grateful for Starbucks, but that isn't important is it?
This one's blank, Spring. When it's written up, it'll make your 8th walk, putting you right on track for the assignments.
