Zion defies description. We were told it was very different from Bryce Canyon and that is so very true. Besides the fact that you get to view the canyon from below, the formations are so huge! There’s so much here! And we have so little time! For today we have to satisfy ourselves with a drive through and a promise to return. We’ll try to schedule our return for a milder, quieter month though. There’s something about this Fourth of July week!
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.
Definitely worth a return trip. Pete’s been to both Zion and Bryce.
