Primrose Hill
Before getting to the park, we ound some nice cafes and shops.
The Park is so nice, even now, one month away from Spring yet. People walking their dogs. An amazing view of London from the hill.
Very nice.

Regent´s Park and Queen Mary´s Gardens
Crossing the canal, we entered Regents park. We went to the Queen Mary´s Gardens. I remembered them as a place where your senses can be alive again, in the summer, the perfume of the English roses, every type more beatuful than the other..., and with the most curious names.
Now, 2 weeks after the snow, the gardens are still beatiful, but I miss the roses, and the colours.
Luckily, it was sunny, and the blooming cherry trees reminded us Spring is close.

Marylebone
We walked some blocks to see St. Marylebone church. And the house where General San Martin stayed where he visited London (23 Park Road).
After the London Central Mosque we went back to the canal.

Regent´s Canal
You can find peace in London. Try walking along the canal one afternoon. The reflecting water, the silence, some ducks, beatiful!

Little Venice
After a long walk we found Little Venice. again, in the summer, it´s more colourful and funny, full of people. Now, it´s still curious.
If you visit, try not to get lost after the last tunnell, where you lose sight of the canal and have to walk a few blocks at the street level (it´s the tricky part of this road!).
Since I was in School, and studied with my English books with these boats pictures I wanted to see them, and maybe to live in one of them. Now time has turned me a little more claustrofobic, and these boats seem really small to live in. My mother though, thinks is a great idea.
