Day Two of Rain

Family

Arrived last night in San Francisco Bay Area. Yesterday they experienced tropical storm strength winds, rain, and power outages. Today was just lots of rain and gray skies. It affected the degree to which we explored Palo Alto. No one wanted to do much of getting out and walking. We saw Stanford University and the Medical Center from the relative comfort of the car. We did do some shopping and enjoyed a Greek meal and lingered over Turkish coffee and Scrabble. After a foray to the Apple Store, we replenished our energy supply with a visit to The Cheesecake Factory. Then we stopped at the Whole Foods market and got supplies for a dinner at Lou’s apartment.

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.
