Sistas on the run.....

Man, it's been a busy week. We've done so much...again. Last Sunday was a much needed "day of rest", but after going to the local Anglican church. It was the first day of Lent and we got ash crosses on our foreheads. Buy, haven't had that in....forever.
Pulling out the Walking Tour book, we wanted to do at least one while she's here in town. So off we went to do the "Inns of Court" walk. This took us near the City, and where the courts are. Turns out the Courts are four areas where barristers and solicitors traditionally train and then work. The major London court (Old Bailey) is also there. Wile I' m not a LNO aficionado, I did find it architecturally interesting. We also stumbled upon the Knights Templar church. Very old and very cool. Free Wednesday concerts, if you're interested.
But the following day, we took off for another one of the famous Walking Tours. We chose Hampstead Heath cause sissy used to live there, back in the day. Wow, I have to say it is stunning. Very much a village feel, while still technically in the city of London. Surprisingly, after all the car boot sale failures, we stumbled upon a street vendor hawking cool vintage items from a table in Flask Walk



We are having to cross items from the To Do list, as there is just no time. Today we road tripped it to Bath. Sure we had six hours there, and I was certain it would end up with time to kill in the shops. Nope! We didn't even get to see all the sights. One spends so much time looking up and pointing at interesting bits and piece. I really wish tourist would look less at maps and such, and look up to enjoy the view.

  1. Stairway to Heaven! Perfect label for this! Glad you embrace the "look less at map" and pay more attention to the sights around you tour method. Worked for me! :-)
