Almost There!

Family

At 2:38 this morning we boarded Amtrak Train 66 bound for Boston, found coach seats across the aisle from each other and proceeded to do as all our fellow passengers were doing, attempt to sleep. After the New Haven stop we enjoyed seats together and continued to slumber more or less until dawn. Minutes before eight we pulled into South Station, rode the escalator down to the Redline, purchased two one way Charlie tickets, waited two minutes, and boarded the Ashmont train. It’s been a thirty-six hour journey but we’re almost there. We’re headed for a rendezvous with Linus and Miles!

    Still hoping you two can take a moment from your winter projects on the mountain and get us blog followers off the Ashmont train. It’s being three months and my legs are starting to cramp up. 🙂

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.

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.
