Hyde Park

One of the first parks we visited was Hyde Park. It’s basically the Central Park of London. It’s one of the largest parks in all of London as well as one of the Royal Parks. I really liked it although I’m sure we didn’t even get to see the whole park. When we first got to the park we walked through a really beautiful little flower garden that had. Walking on the little pathway to the rest of the park we noticed there were large circular medallions looking things on the floor. When we looked down to see what they said we noticed it was the pathway that led to the Princess Diana Memorial. This isn’t the only memorial the park has. Other memorials include the Holocaust Memorial and a memorial that commemorates the victims of the July 7th London bombings. I think these memorials showcase how much London cares about its people. For example, the memorial dedicated to Princess Diana really shows how much the country loved Princess Diana and is proud to have had her in their Royal Family. She was very beloved by the people in the country and I’m sure will always be remembered for all her kind acts while she was alive. So I can definitely see pride in place playing a part in here as well as just having a Royal Park in general. The British are so proud of their Royal Family that they also have Royal Parks!?? That's pretty cool. The next one I think of is power because just having all these different memorials and monuments throughout the park shows that the British have money and you know wherever there is money there is power and they definitely love to show that off. 

The park itself was beautiful. After walking through the Princess Diana memorial path, we walked on the track where joggers can run around the park, we passed some playgrounds, met a few squirrels, and saw all kinds of boot camps and exercisers getting their work out it around the park. It really was a beautiful park, I just wish it would've been sunny enough to have a picnic!
