Soho Walk

Soho. This walk was so much fun, because it felt like such an adventure. Sharon, Liz and I had the chance to lead a large group on this walk. We possibly made a wrong turn at the beginning under someone else's leadership, but we found our way back and kept up the walk. I was bummed that the toy museum wasn't a free attraction, but it was still fun to peek through the windows. And in Soho Square, I loved the little hut-like structure behind the statue of Charles II. I thought it was so neat to be on the same street where the cause of cholera was discovered! That is such an impactful scientific discovery, and it was a cool experience. The book wasn't exaggerating when it said the ground level was raised six feet by St. Anne's parish church; that was crazy. I was also surprised by how empty China Town was, but it's probably because we were walking through in the morning. It was fun to see all of the street signs have Chinese writing on the bottom of them. And I loved finding where Leicester Square was, because I was able to buy half-priced tickets to Chicago. And Trafalgar Square is such a classic London site that needs no words. It was fun to become more familiar with so many different places in the city!
