Crowded campgrounds! Especially in resort areas. We headed today for The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with our eye on the Army Corps of Engineers Canal Campground near Grand Rivers KY. Of the 110 campsites here all 108 reservable sites are taken for this weekend after the 4th of July. Luckily we had our choice of either of the two Walk-In sites. We chose #18 and paid for three nights but we have the option of extending our stay to a max of fourteen nights! On our walk around this evening we began to surmise that many of the campers are families that come here the same week or two weeks every year and have created somewhat of a summer camp atmosphere. There’s quite a few white DIY 5 gallon bucket lanterns. The primary mode of transportation is golf cart, even on the roads outside the park! But we have to say we’re enjoying our little quiet dark corner of the camp!
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.
