A Port in a Storm

Road Trip

Uncharacteristic of us we’ve stopped for a big breakfast at Cracker Barrel. The real reason is to let some of this stormy weather pass. We’ve taken our time with our meal and are now sitting on the porch listening to the song lyrics telling us truthfully that “The weather outside is frightful.” Indeed as we traveled south on I-65 we saw several cars in the median, evidence of spin outs. It’s soggy everywhere in the southeast. We drove through hard rain for six hours yesterday. And Tween Creeks experienced it too. Neighbors report the creek in front of the house jumped its banks and wreaked havoc with the road. Fun times both in the mountains and on the road!

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.
