Grateful for Bridges 

Arkansas, Road Trip, States, Tennessee

We left Little Rock this morning and headed east on I-40. We just crossed the mighty Mississippi at Memphis with hardly a thought. It’s so easy in this era of interstate travel to take for granted safe passage across big bodies of water. It hasn’t always been so. Instead we can pause and be grateful for the engineering technology that allows us to blithely pass from Arkansas into Tennessee. Thank you, civil engineers, for improving our travel options!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

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.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

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.

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

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.
