And Washington or Scott Avenue. Actually the the main entrance to the public library in Mobile is on the other side from Government. No crown of kudzu in evidence, no sirens wailing, but we walked through the door from Gulf Coastal heat into the library quiet and cool. We’d like to thank Jimmy Buffett for making us aware of this lovely place where we paid tribute to our own encounter in the Mirror Lake Library on a Saturday in October 1969. And so the Odyssey continues.
A half-day bus tour from London to Stonehenge gave us enough of an opportunity to gaze in awe at this ancient sacred monument, learn a little more about its history and construction and make us want to return for perhaps a more intimate experience.
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
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.
