This morning Lou wanted to just enjoy a leisurely breakfast and visit with us snug in our T@B rather than hurry to pack up and head out to hike the Kings Creek Falls Trail before her drive home this afternoon. We’ve all enjoyed this rendezvous and having her as our first overnight guest inside our 400. Then once we prepared her a bag lunch for the road, hugged her and sent her on her way, we ran the generator for a while, had our own lunch, then headed out for a hike. Oh, wow! The falls and the hike back up on the Cascades Foot Trail is so worth the trek down along the Horse Trail. Like many first timers we debated whether to return via the one-way, steeper foot trail but we learned that not only was the scenery incredible, bur the rock staircase sections were so much easier to traverse than the loose rock trail coming down, but we met some delightful fellow travelers and hiked alongside them for the final leg of the hike.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

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.

Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
