We and Bill are FitBit Buddies and he is consistently logging more steps than either than us. Today we participated in his secret strategy. We walked to the local coffee shop. It was only 4.4 miles each way! We two have now racked up another achievement, a 20K step day. By day’s end it may be a 10 mile day. It was a pleasant walk in a beautiful day and had the bonus of coffee with friends in between the two segments.
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. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
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.
