As we were doing the driving tour of Fort Donelson we experienced an unexpected delight. American Bald Eagles! Suddenly our focus was shifted from artillery to the cries and sight of two eagles in flight. One flew on and the other perched high overlooking the Cumberland River. We learned from a local photographer and others that it was an adult that had flown on and this was a juvenile, perhaps four months old. The white plumage signature of the Bald Eagle doesn’t develop until the bird is about three to five years old. What a wonderful treat!
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
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.
