We left Flagstaff and traveled I-40 along a stretch that was more or less the path of the old Route 66. We got off the highway to visit the Petrified Forest National Park. Wow! It was awesome being in the presence of beautiful rocks that were trees 255 million years ago. The northern portion of the park includes the incredible Painted Desert. Then on through Gallup and Albuquerque and north to Santa Fe where we met brother-in-law, Bill, for dinner and a beer at Brumby’s, an Aussie pub, and spent a very comfortable night as his house guests.

OUR VERY

LATEST

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

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.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

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.
