The Longest Day

Alaska, Road Trip, States

It was a wonderful but incredibly long day. It started well before dawn. It was still dark when we arrived at Tampa Airport. We rode in a shuttle van with the Hamiltons and Eanes so the party started early. At Tampa Airport we saw the sun rise. We haven’t seen it set yet. After three plane rides, a long layover in Seattle, a delay waiting for luggage that never arrived at Fairbanks Airport, and finally a bus ride to Sophie Station Hotel, we are finally ending the day something like 22 hours after the day started.

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.

London’s Canals

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.
