Presque Isle Waterfalls

2019 West Again, Michigan, Road Trip, States

What a glorious way to start the day. Sunlight crept in through the stargazer window that looked out into the woods. Hot coffee. Eggs and sausage. And a hike along a portion of the 17 mile Lake Superior Trail to visit Manabezho, Manido, and Nawahada Falls along a stretch of the Presque Isle River. Actually our hike was in the neighborhood of two miles mostly along boardwalks and up and down sturdy park built stairs. In fact it was a lot of up and down but lots of spots to stop and gaze in wonder at these beautiful falls. Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is a treasure. Last time we were here we visited Lake of the Clouds at the eastern end of the park. Have to say that we rather enjoyed the fact that there are fewer visitors to this western end even in this lead up to the busiest campground week of the year.

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.
