Derek's Jolly Old Blog: St. James Park

Today turned out to be an amazing day. I woke up and was on my way to class and it was just another gloomy day in London. What a surprise. As I was sitting in class the sun came out and I figured it would come and go. Go, it did not. So as I walked out of the building, the sun was still shining. On this momentous occasion, I decided to go to St. James Park and do some reading. It has become my favorite place in the city.

From there you can see Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and Big Ben. It is an awesome park. It is pretty small with a small lake going all the way through it. Although the past times I have been there it has been pretty relaxed and a few people here and there, today was not the case. Apparantely this week is the London public school system's Spring Break. So it was packed.

Even though, it was still nice. There are some trees and flowers blossoming which makes me excited for the fact that winter is obviously coming to an end. Not only the flowers were signaling that it was coming to an end, but on my walk home I considered taking my jacket off. I literally have not thought that since I have gotten here, so that is a step in the right direction. Considering I am now on Spring Break, I hope that weather continues, but mostly in Spain since that is where I will be for the next 7 days as of Saturday. Here are some pictures I took from St. James Park.
