Winter Wonderland

New Mexico, Road Trip, States

 

We awakened on Saturday morning to a bright and glorious day with snow all around. We had planned to hike but none of us – Floridian or New Mexican – had proper footwear so we whiled away the day watching the snow melt, reading in the glorious living room at Elaine’s, and sneaking in little naps. It was a most relaxing day. To keep us from developing cabin fever we did go in to town for lunch and shopping, and later for dinner. Much to the delight of us Floridians, we chilled our wine and beer in the snow on the balcony outside our room.

OUR VERY

LATEST

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.

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
