Spent one day at home doing laundry, enjoying time with CJ, watching few episodes from Season 1 of “House”. When we delivered CJ to Gateway to catch the 100X bus across the bay, we stopped in at Beall’s to buy a pair of shoes. Ended up shopping the discount racks. Steve’s line is that we got in yesterday and leaving tomorrow on the cruise so we had to go to Beall’s to do our packing! Couldn’t resist this photo of the Signature rising in downtown St Petersburg.
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.
