We spent some time this morning enjoying the view from under our awning while savoring our first cuppa. This is a pretty county park campground near Cannon Falls, MN. While we were cooking breakfast we were absolutely delighted to get a phone call from Fr Jim. We’ve gotten to know him these several months as he has ministered to an extemporaneous group of Catholics in WNC. He’d not seen us for several weeks and called to find out if we were doing okay. It was a wonderful conversation!
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.
