After our midday adventures at Sinking Spring Farm in this July heat we were ready for some iced tea and a bite to eat. Yelp! led us to exactly the right place. The exterior of this place wasn’t particularly inviting but once we walked through the doors everything was right with the world. The service was friendly. The Hamburger Steak Special and the Country Fried Steak Sandwich hit the spot. And the Derby Pie was superb. We’ll return to Hodgenville not just to soak in more Lincoln lore but to come back to the local eatery!
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.
