To celebrate this auspicious birthday, Steve and company hiked up the creek that runs in front of our house. The two of us hiked up to a huge boulder that we opted not to clamber over. Dave however had a standard to live up to. He climbed all the way up to “the witch house” as Greg had done on Christmas Day. Another part of the celebration was feasting on the delicious banana cake baked by Rhonda who along with Riley was unable to come with Dave this weekend.
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.
