Found out that friends Elizabeth and Ed were vacationing in the Smoky Mountains and wanted to go gem mining. We made plans to go along on the adventure. Rather than go to one of the touristy places where they salt the buckets of mud, we went to one where you have to dig and haul your own mud. The big challenge is to actually recognize the gem in the rough!
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.
