We spent today in search of memories from our honeymoon – and we found them! The Grand Tetons are more crowded than when we came in 1973 but we found an almost quiet stretch of Jenny Lake shore for our lunch. The door on the outhouse at Menor’s Ferry is now nailed shut, but it’s still there. We spent a quiet moment inside the Chapel of the Transfiguration before returning to Jackson Hole for a dinner of buffalo ribeye and Mighty Bison Brown Ale.
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.
How was the Mighty Bison Brown Ale?
It was great meeting you both! Thanks for the visit… I needed it. Enjoy the journey. 🙂
If they have to nail the door shut….
I LOVE Jackson Hole – everything is wood and stone!  I also liked the antler horn entranceways to the town park – did you get to see those?  It is such a beautiful place…and the Tetons……what a sight!
