We’re traveling I-40 eastbound along Historic Route 66. It’s driving us crazy as we are driving straight through. There’s so many cool places we’d like to stop and explore but our one stop has been at a modern gas station/truck stop/convenience store/restaurant along with just about every other east bound traveler in this part of the world, including a tour bus. But the landscape is gorgeous!
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.
