Cooperstown

2017 New England, New York, Road Trip

What to do on a rainy day in Otsego County? Explore Cooperstown, of course. We first thought of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and that it was the hometown of a high school friend so that’s where we headed. Found some on street parking and walked the couple of blocks to enjoy a pleasant couple of hours immersing ourselves in the history of America’s pastime. Then on the recommendation of our campground host, we lunched at the Hawkeye Grill at The Otesaga on the shore of Otsego Lake or Glimmerglass in the novels of James Fenimore Cooper. There’s much more to explore here on another sunnier day.

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.

London’s Canals

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.
