We suspected last evening that we would get rain during the night. With that in mind we packed up our outdoor furnishings before bed. Indeed we got rain throughout the night and all morning so far. It’s been sufficiently light to allow us to cook a breakfast that we ate inside and to break camp without getting soaked. Now we are on our way in the rain to Kinderhook, home of Martin Van Buren.
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
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.
Very kind of Nature to rain on a travel day instead of a site visiting day.
