It’s funny. We haven’t known Kathy & Peter for long. Met through a mutual friend and toured Alaska together as members of a group of 44 friends. But we feel as if we have known one another for decades. We called them when we were in the area to see if we could have dinner together. The plans exploded to being their house guests and driving with them to a friend’s annual pig roast in West Virginia!
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.

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.
