Since shortly after leaving Dixon we’ve been the southern part of the Chicago area along the Historic Lincoln, better known these days as US-30 but in Joliet the US-30 bridge over the Des Plaines River is closed. We detoured onto IL-54 and discovered we were on Historic Route 66! If we’d been taking The Mother Road, also known as the Will Rogers Highway, from LA, we be almost to the eastern terminus which incidentally is at its intersection with US-41. But we have miles to go before we sleep and from here we’ll take the most expeditious route to our destination in Indiana, hopefully Indiana Dunes State Park.

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

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.
