Roll Down the Hill


Friday we had class outdoors at Regent's Park. Everyone brought food and more importantly booze. Mike was very sweet and gave all of us Krispy Kreme doughnuts, his idea of America's favorite treat. Obviously the class was very laid back, we played rugby, drank Bailey's and sunbathed.

Regent's Park is quite lovely and expansive, it was appropriated by Henry VIII as hunting grounds because he thought it was a nice brisk ride away from Whitehall Palace.
After finishing off our beverages and Krispy Kremes, we trotted off to Primrose Hill. It really does offer one of the best views of London, since the whole city seems to essentially be flat, this little mount gave a rare glimpse of the whole expanse. It really was impressive to see just how massive the city is. Sometimes I forget that I reside in such a metropolis when I am closed off on the underground. I am sure this happens to Londoners as well, so that's why they go to parks, to remember where they live.
The hill was wonderful, we sat at the top and gazed out on the lovely city that has been our home for three months.
Obviously we had to roll down Primrose Hill, that's the American way.
