Spent part of the day getting the household back to normal after the excitement of the Christmas holidays. Spent the evening with friends. Konni and Heinz are visiting from Germany and joined us for dinner downtown and for dancing at the Savoy South Make Believe Ballroom. We always enjoy their visits. This time we looked at pictures of their hometown on the internet. At the dance, CJ was joined by friend Des, a fellow Chemistry student and former lab partner.
 
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
