Upon our return to the campground, we made our daily pilgrimage to the office to check the mail and to our delight, we found our new trailer license plate! As soon as we stick the sticker onto the upper right corner and affix the plate to the new tag holder on the trailer, we’ll be good to go. It’s been a salubrious sojourn here at Manatee Hammock but it does seem time to decamp and make our way to the Carolina mountains! 
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.
