Esther’s Bakery in downtown Sugarcreek! It’s a tiny little place with a selection of yummy pastries a couple of sandwich options and a few cold beverage choices. We got started on our filled and frosted chocolate cake doughnuts while we waited for our cheeseburgers. Everything was tasty but the doughnuts were absolutely top notch. We got here by way of the Alpine Hills Historical Museum on Main Street. It’s a well done little museum. We’re hoping to bring our granddaughters here soon.
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.
