El Camino Real

2016 Out West, California, Road Trip

Early this morning we got hugs from Lou and from Megan as they each headed out to their professional realms. For a couple of hours we stayed coccooned in the apartment giving rush hour traffic a chance to calm. Later in the morning we made our way to Cupertino and a short visit with Gigi’s weekend host before we hitched her up to hit the trail. Chuck offered us some home grown apples to take with us as we make our way south. Now as we travel US-101 we’re noticing the El Camino Real markers, a mission bell atop a Franciscan walking crook. We learned that this highway was once a primitive road connecting the missions established in the 1700s by Jesuits and Franciscians under the auspices of the Spanish Crown.

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

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.
