Interspersed with periods of pouring rain were moments of smoky mountain scenery. We had planned to drive to Tampa today but changed our plans because of heavy rain everywhere between here and Tampa. Instead we got the last of the boxes either unpacked or placed in the study closet temporarily. Now it looks as if we live there, not like we are moving in. We even have the first of our Christmas decorations up: Steve’s mother’s 80 year old German made Nativity set.
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.
