Saturday in the Park

London is having a heat wave.  Saturday was to be as warm as 30 (86 F) which is highly unusual for October 1.  Friends and I decided to celebrate by spending our day off in Hyde Park.  We went to a nearby grocery store and bought food to share for lunch and dinner, and settled down onto a sheet under a nice shade tree.  


It was the perfect day to do so.  We played Dutch Blitz, lazed around, and talked and caught up on life.  It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday.  It was also truly incredible to see the mix of cultures, from the English girls wearing next to nothing to sunbathe to the clusters of Middle Eastern women in head to toe black.  Everyone wanted to enjoy the day, just in different ways!
