Leaving in the Rain

2019 West Again, Road Trip

It’s been a soggy two weeks at Winklepleck. Even as we pulled in on the Tuesday before üCamp19 we had to be careful as to where we parked near our assigned power pedestal. Then as the rain progressed we found ourselves camping in the middle of a lake. Even once we were camping on higher ground and hobnobbing with the other Leftovers we were still picking our way carefully between puddles and muddy ruts. We lingered one more night to enjoy the sunset with friends. And this morning as we were hooking up and getting last hugs from Amanda, the nüCamp Ambassador of the Year, and other new friends, the raindrops were falling. Hopefully by the time we’ve finished our Wall House breakfast and begin our journey to Michigan, this storm cell will have passed. We’re looking forward to a campground with full hookups and laundry for the next two nights so we can get our house in order before we truly commence Summer Ramble 2019.

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

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.
