Boston Public Library

Road Trip

Initially we thought we would go to the National Archives at Waltham but then realized how long the trip would be and decided to do it on a day when we were prepared to leave early. Maybe Monday. Instead we walked to Lambert’s and got makings for tonight’s dinner. Then in the afternoon we took the “T” to Copley Square and checked out the genealogy offerings at Boston Public Library but discovered that they are not as extensive as we had hoped. We took advantage of the beautiful afternoon and wandered through Copley Square. We love the juxtaposition of old and new in this vibrant city. At the Farmer’s Market in Copley we got some local goat cheese then headed home to begin dinner preparations. Greg shared the last of his first home brew with us and we all enjoyed a Beef Braise prepared with Joel’s excellent recipe and served on Gram Lucille’s china.

Burgh House Hampstead

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.

Wicked The Musical

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.
