Sweet Home Alabama

Road Trip

After an overnight Saturday at Shephard State Park in Gautier MS that included Mass at St Michael’s in Biloxi, we chose this KOA near Lillian AL as our home for two nights. Our T@B nestled in under wonderful old live oak trees here on the Lost Coast and we enjoyed a day off to do laundry and de-winterize the T@B. Actually we were a bit premature on that since the temperature dipped to 31F at 6AM this morning. Nonetheless we both appreciated a bit of down time. Now this morning we’ll continue our meandering ways. We’ll need to head east if we’re going to eventually head south for the promise of warmer weather!

    It was warmer here, but we still needed jackets to work in the garage. Stay warm and safe!

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.
