The weather was a little iffy but Vivian came to see fall foliage and we wanted her to see it. From the Blue Ridge Parkway we took the Heintoga Ridge Road to Balsam Mountain Road to Big Cove Road. We were a mile high on a mountain trail limited to one way auto traffic. It’s like hiking the Appalachian Trail without having to actually hike.
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.
