Change of heart. I exchanged the newly purchased Meindl leather boots for light weight Meindl Gortex boots. Having walked 650 miles in trail running shoes, I know the virtue of light and flexible shoes.

Lunch with Chris, a dear friend met on the Coast to Coast walk 12-years ago. He and his father have special places in my heart.

With Brexit featured in worldwide news, it was an interesting day to visit the Parliament. From the Visitor’s Gallery, I listened to David Cameron speak in the House of Commons. Also toured was Saint Stephans Chapel, the procession into the House of Commons, House of Lords.

The Temple Church was built by the Knights of Templar, soldier-monks who protected pilgrims to the Holy Lands.

The Templars were associated with the Magna Carta. The Templars Church featured the connection between Magna Carta, American’s Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights, and the United Nation’s The Universal Bill of Rights.
