After awakening at Ponchartrain Landing we got the T@B ready and stored it and the truck at the RV park and called United Cab. As our driver dropped us off we found Laura, Mason, Peter, and Patrick on the sidewalk outside our hotel. After stowing the luggage we set out in search of sustenance. We found friendly service, good food, and coffee. Now time to return to the hotel and rendezvous with the rest of the gang who are now enroute from the airport!
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.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
