We’ve been here! Forty-one years ago on our honeymoon, the two of us camped at the KOA in Amarillo. Even before that Karen’s family camped here in December 1965. They were traveling home to St Petersburg FL from a Christmas visit with family in Salt Lake City UT in a 1962 red Chevrolet station wagon named Clyde hauling a canvas topped camping trailer painted the same bright red. But tonight we’ll be sleeping in El Dorado south of Santa Fe. Tomorrow we’ll embark on the next leg of our rambling adventure.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
