Yesterday as we were leaving Westfield NY,we had the GPS set for a state park not far from Fort Niagara north of Buffalo. Less than an hour later we’d talked with a friend in Vermont and reset the GPS. This morning we woke up with a view of mist rising from West Canada Creek through our stargazer window in northeastern New York. We ultimately decided we weren’t willing to give up the opportunity to see fall foliage in New England this trip.
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
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.
Life is best when it is note subject to a schedule etched into stone.
