A Week at Home

Road Trip

IMG_2854.JPG
We’ve been home alone this past week enjoying the comforts of our mountain house and making preparations for our next adventure. We’ve had some visits with neighbors but mostly have enjoyed the seclusion that this place offers. That is when we were not off running errands. We cancelled our mail forwarding, picked up the mail that had accumulated for us at the UPS Store in Franklin, made arrangements for an alternate mail forwarding service, sent off our passport renewal applications, had an adjustment made to the truck so it can charge the trailer battery, made arrangements for the electric brake controller we’ll need for the new trailer, and lots of fun and not so fun things. We’re just about prepared to head out of here tomorrow. Ready for the next adventure!

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.
