We have been guests of friends Pam and John and their offspring for the past few days. It’s been wonderful being in the middle of family activities while we have taken care of some personal business in St Petersburg. We’ve enjoyed time with John and with Pam while she is still on maternity leave, snuggled Jack, done craft activities with Sam, played Barbies with Alex. Now it’s time for the drive back to our home in the mountains.
 
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.
