Spent the day just enjoying Mary Lou’s company. We started the day with a breakfast at Buck’s, a Redwood City tradition. Spent the afternoon outside on the patio reading, knitting, and just talking. In the evening we had a delicious dinner at the Elephant Bar in Fremont with Lou’s friend Nimfa. It was an altogether relaxing and fun day.
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.
I like the picture of the coffe cups clinking. who ever thought of that had a good idea. I assume Bucks is a local coffe place and not short for Starbucks. Mary M.
