Our stay in Las Cruces was a delightful visit with Marvin and his people. Our friendship with Marvin began in Aberdeen, SD when we visited with Paul, his “Dad”. Now two years later Paul is teaching English in Japan and Marvin is delighting his foster parents, Paul and Beth. Sociable and intelligent, he’s excited about going to doggie daycare, loves to snuggle, and graciously agreed to share his side yard with Sc@rlett, our T@B 400 during our visit.
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
