Yesterday afternoon we pulled into the community of El Dorado at Santa Fe and parked our T@B in Bill’s driveway for a weekend visit. We enjoyed the patio and libations with Bill as daylight began to wane then were happy recipients of a delicious home cooked spaghetti dinner. Bill introduced us to a mystery series on Netflix and we watched the first episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. We made some plans for the weekend eschewing the balloon fiesta since we’d all had fabulous experiences in years past and may well do so again but desire calmer more relaxing activities this time. This morning we two have enjoyed an opportunity to get a few projects done while enjoying being outside under fabulous blue skies and just a hint of a breeze.
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.
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.
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.
