Last One Left

Road Trip

  

It’s spookily quiet around here this evening. Atwood Lake Group Camping has been such an incredibly busy hive of activity all week and now it’s quiet. Everyone has left for home or for further travels. But even in this void we feel so much richer for the experience. We’ve learned so much, had so much fun, met so many new friends and deepened other friendships. To you, our Tearstock Friends, may your adventures be rich and many. We truly look forward to our next rendezvous, at Tearstock 2016 or sooner!

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.
