Spent the day in Skagway. It was a wonderful adventure to ride the White Pass & Yukon train with John & Amy. We saw fabulous scenery and the some of the treacherous trail that the Klondike Gold Rushers faced. In town we visited some Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park sites where our Santa Fe friend Cathy was an archaeolgist. We ended the evening with some salubrious time in Michael’s Club listening to piano and enjoying good libations.
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.
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
