With Jana & The Presidents

2014 West then East, Presidential, Presidential Sites, Road Trip, South Dakota, States

Thanks to Jana we’ve finally, on our third visit to the Black Hills, visited downtown Rapid City, City of Presidents! It was a delightful evening. She met us at the KOA where we got to show her our T@B then on to a delicious meal at Tally’s Silver Spoon, a trip to the Prairie Edge Trading Co. to see some incredible beads and Prairie Edge Hunt, an amazing paper sculpture, a chance to pose next to multiple presidential bronze statues, yummy ice cream from Silver Lining Creamery, excellent conversation, and a successful geocache find! As we were ending the visit dark was descending on the city and from our campsite we could look down on the lights of the city and the fireworks of the Mount Rushmore patriotic light show!

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

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.
