Louisiana Lazing

2014 West then East, Louisiana, Road Trip, States

We’re in River Ridge LA, just west of New Orleans, sitting in the shade with our coffee and tea on a pleasantly warm morning enjoying the breeze debating as to what we want to do today. We both have a desire to visit the National World War II Museum but neither of us really wants to get involved in the crowds of their D Day Anniversary events nor do we care to deal with traffic or narrow streets or elusive parking places. Instead we may head upriver and visit a plantation house today. History lesson or history lesson? Two good options!

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.
