Early, early arising to be at San Francisco airport by 0530! Had a direct one stop flight home. We arrived early at Midway in Chicago so the flight crew gave us the opportunity to get off the plane for just long enough to eat a hot dog. Arrived in Tampa on time and were met at the airport by CJ! Once home we began the process of unpacking and getting the laundry done quickly.
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.
