We spent just a couple days in St Petersburg, several appointments – not enough time to see all the people
we would like to see. Visited just some of our old haunts. Spent a little time at The Arts Center, got some gelato at Paciugo, had a bite to eat and some libation at the Old Northeast Tavern, went dancing at PASA, and got hugs from just a few of our favorite people.
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
