One of the features of Peaceful Pines is the proximity to some very busy BNSF railroad tracks. Trains are coming and going at all hours. This morning we walked out to a path along the tracks and watched long long freight trains passing us in both directions trying to get some video footage to share with our train loving grandson! And we checked out some grain, is it wheat? It’s growing along the side of the tracks. Was it the result of grain blowing out of a railroad car at some point?
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.
