Walk with the Scholars

The theme I chose for this walk was Smartness, In All Its Forms. Scholarly, eh?

Most British people are smart, and smart people go to Libraries regularly.

Charles Dickens was one smart chap.

Smart people make love not war.

Smart people go to church.

They also go to College.

Smart people can be found at Museums, almost as frequently as Libraries.

Smart people don't gamble.

Smart people support peace. And most were born around the year 1986 :)

I think what I've realized most living in London is the enormous number of people who have contributed to and greatly shaped it's history. On this walk it seemed that with every turn we found a new blue circle on a house, indicating some famous person who had lived there! Their country is just so rich in a way that ours cannot be since they've been around for so much longer. It was perfect timing, since we just learned about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and they spent a lot of time there. I really am impressed with the way London takes its history so seriously. The people seem to be more aware of and involved with their roots than we are. That's something I'm hoping to change from here on out.
