About four hours ago we successfully found Silver Spring Campground in Stowe OH, situated ourselves on a shady site and settled in. After lunch and a nap we’re enjoying salubrious silence. At mid-week the campground is virtually empty so we have the pleasure of listening to the leaves rustling, birds chirping, crows cawing, and little else. A welcome opportunity to spend time reading, sipping coffee, a just enjoying some glorious downtime!
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.
Does not sound like “got lost”, rather, “experienced unanticipated exploration”. You knew where you were and where you wanted to go, just needed to discover the route.
Enjoy the pause.
