Hyde Park Guided Walk

We booked a guided walk of Hyde Park today and it was wonderful! It's geared toward adults, but I brought my kids 'cuz I knew they'd get a lot out of it ~ and they did!

As it turns out, the guy who led the walk today is originally from Kentucky, but lived the last forty years in Malibu where he and his wife are directors of Pepperdine University! He also taught in Northridge, but I forget the proper name - possibly CSU Northridge. His name is Fred Strache and his wife is Caroline. Check it out - They have a London Internship!

Anywho, it was fun to hear from a guy who informed our group of walkers that Americans have more than one accent. They found that surprising, but I knew that! Just as the English have several accents, so do we Americans. I walked and talked with Richard, the other volunteer guide with Royal Parks, about dialects. Since he was "herding the cattle" (the group was much larger than they are used to), I lagged behind to learn even more about London and England. It was great! He's a crack up and was great with K and M too. We had our own private tour guide by our side!




Our walk was called, "Royal Parks Guided Art & Architecture Walk of Hyde Park, Part 1". For more info on various guided walks, please check out the below information. You won't be disappointed!


That's it for now. I've got to get back to working on our SBFA yearbook . . .
