Once off the ship we headed for home via bus. Michael met us at the Pinellas Park stop, strapped luggage to the roof of the Volvo then stuffed four of us and more luggage into the car saving just barely enough room to fit in Emily and Matthew. From our house we dropped off friend Ed then proceeded to Santiago Court with brother Ed. There we dined on fabulous Cuban sandwiches. We eventually arrived home about ten that night.
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
