Today’s journey isn’t a long one. If we don’t run into any traffic jams, driving time should be under three hours. Certainly we have time for a rest stop break. The search for geocaches took us past this Pollinator Habitat Zone. We successfully found two of three caches. The other was too far into the woods for our tastes today. Then we headed to the 400 to make a quick lunch just as seven travelers pulled in next to us and began oohing and aahing over our cute little trailer so there we were at the rest area at Crestwood KY giving a T@B tour to seven people!
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.
