Ever heard of this place? We hadn’t. We were just driving north on FL Hwy 71 when we saw a sign for a campground not listed in any of the apps we had consulted. We pulled in and found a delightful little Dead Lakes Park RV & Campground with a gracious host, a sparkling clean shower house, and a scenic lake. Now if you want to launch a boat, now’s not the best time, the ramp is flooded but this is definitely a place we’d like to visit again.
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.
