Into the East

2016 Out West, Road Trip

Our first foray into Missouri cas come to an end. We’ve enjoyed the experiences we’ve had on this short visit and look forward to an opportunity to visit for a fortnight or more. We didn’t get the chance this trip to even visit St Louis much less dig into its history or try to uncover some family history there. There are many adventures yet to be had in the Show Me State but there are folks expecting us in Indiana and Ohio before we make tracks back to Tween Creeks. We’ve been exploring west of the Mississippi for some twelve weeks and it’s been fabulous. The time has come through to begin trekking through the eastern states for a while.

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.
