Awakened this morning under some wonderful big oaks in John W Kyle State Park northwest of Oxford MS on the shore of Sardis Lake. We had some trouble locating this campground last evening. Rumor is there is also a COE campground here but we don’t have an idea where it is. No problem because thisbis a great spot at a reasonable rate. From here we’ll head west to cross the Mississippi at Helena and do some explorations as we cross Arkansas.
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.
