Hyde Park and High Street

A leisurely day in Hyde Park as a vacation from the vacation. We decided to have a slower paced day today so went just a few blocks away to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. After visiting the park - and checking out the Diana Memorial Fountain of course - we came back and rested up for the late afternoon.

We took the tube to High St Kensington and the picture is of a beautiful church that we saw. Of special interest and I have more pictures, is the sign on two of the doors. One says 'Boys and Infants' and the other says 'Girls'. I believe it's from the 1800's.

A word of caution for those of you whose train traveling experience is limited to Amtrak - when you are on an English train you are not struck deaf - it's that quiet; you are not suddenly blinded - it is moving too fast for your brain to process the visual data input, and your watch is finally useful - each station arrival is spot on.
