We spent a most salubrious morning enjoying the fact that we didn’t have a things to do list with which to deal. Eventually we wandered out to explore this highest state park in Georgia. We did Geocache type known as an EarthCache and learned a number of things about the park including the fact that the black rock of the mountain is biotite gneiss. This evening we explored a bit of Clayton including scoring a handful of traditional geocaches. A pleasant day!
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.
Another great park in that area is Brasstown Bald. If you haven’t been there, check it out. Hope your travels are great!
