Since sometime in January or February we have had Monday lunch with Vivian. We’ve missed a few when we or she was out of town but we’ve been quite faithful. The remarkable thing is that the restaurant was always within easy walking distance of her office and we never went to the same place twice. In fact there were still several choices left. We hope she will be able to continue the tradition, it was one of the highlights of our week.
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.
