It was a day of natural wonders. It began with beautiful blue skies! We drove to Devil’s Tower National Monument for a three hour visit including a hike around the base marveling at the skill of the climbers. Then we drove to Medora, ND along backroads. One was Montana 323 which was a gravel road through open range. Besides cattle we saw the deer and the antelope play. We were awfully glad to be in the car when we saw the rattler! Arrived in Medora shortly after sunset and moonrise. It’s a lovely cool and dry evening.
Thanks for getting in touch! I love the pictures and your comments. I hope I get as lucky as you two someday. To find someone I love as much as you two love each other… You can see your having a wonderful time, way to go! Take care friends,

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.

Holy smoke, that’s a huge rattler snake! Always good to read your blog.
Yes! That was quite an impressive rattlesnake. The photo was taken with me safely inside the car and the snake on the outside!
