10k going on and lots of runners!


St. James' Park: Ireland

One of our tour directors is a horticulture teacher so we received our fair share of gardens and plants. It was so picturesque to be there in the fall where some trees are green and others, yellow. You would be walking in the middle of the city and then all the sudden you walk into a park and the city disappears. Seeing all the runners made me want to join despite my Toms footwear and jeans. Some other gardens I didn't take pictures of because I was so awed by their beauty was the Kew Gardens and St. Regents Park (both in London).
