Today began with taking care of mundane things.we took Eric to Bloomington Ford for an oil change and transmission maintenance but then we learned we needed new brakes too! And we got to sort through more than a month’s worth of mail that we had Eagle forward from Sylva to us at CJ’s. A few phone calls and a couple of online transactions later we were done with personal business.

 On to fun things. We went out and about afoot with CJ. Lunch at Feast just a couple of blocks from their house. Some amazing foods out of their display case finished off with a shared dessert. According to our personal rules we had to order the Tiramisu but we can in fact now order a different dessert next time.

We were back at the house enjoying quiet time together when Phil arrived home and we stepped out again for Bloomington’s First Friday Gallery Walk. After a couple of gallery visits we began our progressive dinner at Lotus Garden, then on to Serendipity Martini Bar for cocktails and a visit with CJ and Phil’s friend and bartender Dave. We finished the Downtown Bloomington Crawl with desserts and coffee at Blu Boy. A fun way to do lots of visiting with these two!

Back at McCormick’s Creek we found the previously almost empty campground filled to capacity!

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.
