A Day for Exploring

Road Trip

We ventured into Cherokee today and discovered a gem. The Oconaluftee Institute for the Cultural Arts. We had seen a flyer about an exhibit of work by T.J.Holland and decided to go check it out. We ended up getting an extensive personal tour of the institute which was founded by the Cherokee and administered by Southwestern Community College. Then because we were right there we visited Harrah’s, the casino on the reservation. It’s like wandering into an alternative universe. Big and beautiful and totally alien. Then this evening we headed in the other direction and checked out the action at the Maggie Valley Inn where dancers gather every Thursday evening. Got a chance to get out onto the dance floor and kick up our heels! And get to know some folks a little better.

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

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.
