Left Hot Springs and headed north along SR-7 which is designated as one of the state’s scenic highways. It was rolling wooded terrain with lots of autumn foliage still in it’s glory. Arrived in Russellville and snuggled into our room until friend Alex joined us for dinner. Conversation with Alex is always a delight. Topics ranged from Arkansas history and demographics to ancient history and lots of stuff in between.
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.
It was so good to see you and chat and reminisce!
