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.
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.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
