As we were northbound on R519 just south of Ballingarry, Co. Limerick, we spotted an ice cream cone sign and quickly wheeled in to the car park, piled out, and trooped into Snow’s Country Store where our choice was a plain ice cream cone or a Flake 99. The poor storekeeper was faced with trying to explain something that is apparently ubiquitous in Ireland but was totally unknown to all four of us. Three of us were brave enough to try the Cadbury treat and loved it!
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.
