Regent's Park

The Regent's Park Walk. What do I have to say about the Regent's Park walk? Regent's Park, and it's sister park, Primrose Hill are almost as beautiful as my sister, and that is saying A LOT. We did this walk when I was I'm quite sure, the most tired I have ever been. I think I had achieved sleeping a total of about 10 hours in three nights combined, and it was showing on this day (feel free to mock how gross I look, I won't even be mad). It took everything in my power, and Brenden's for that matter, but we got there! The moment I saw the park I forgot about how tired I was. This place was beautiful. At the beginning of the walk was  Regent's Park Road with cute little cafes and shops, and you could tell what kind of an area this was just from the cars parked out from. I don't think I saw one that wasn't nice, or worth less than $35, 000.
Into Primrose Hill Park we went first, and I wanted to cry when I saw the hill I had to climb up, but I suppose that panoramic view was worth it. We kept ourselves entertained with talk of the London Zoo and it's animals, as we made our way into the Broad Walk of Regent's Park. So lovely, so gorgeous. Now that Spring is here, everything is that much better, and the green colors in this park are the perfect examples of that. From Hanover Terrace right down to Cambridge Terrace, all of them named from titles held by various members of the royal family during the reign of George IV. I was sufficiently awe struck. Each one was grand in it's own early nineteenth century glory, and John Nash, the architect behind them, well he seemed to know exactly what he was doing. We managed to reach the end of the walk without me collapsing or falling asleep, we were enlightened, and our eyes were pleased with the sights they had seen, so I will mark it down as a success.
