It was a wonderful but incredibly long day. It started well before dawn. It was still dark when we arrived at Tampa Airport. We rode in a shuttle van with the Hamiltons and Eanes so the party started early. At Tampa Airport we saw the sun rise. We haven’t seen it set yet. After three plane rides, a long layover in Seattle, a delay waiting for luggage that never arrived at Fairbanks Airport, and finally a bus ride to Sophie Station Hotel, we are finally ending the day something like 22 hours after the day started.
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.
