It looks as though North Dakota’s cottonwood trees think it’s autumn. We spent the day enjoying Theodore Roosevelt National Park, both south and north units. The human history, the geology, and the wildlife are all rather remarkable. Late in the afternoon we headed into the setting sun and found lodging in Wolf Point, Montana.
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.
Jealousy doesn’t begin to describe how I feel sitting here at my desk, working late, but stopping to take a look at all the beautiful photos of your journey thus far. Hmm…..wishful mindless meanderings fill my head.
Keep up the fun and adventure.
Thanks for sharing with us.
