Memories in a Box

Family


After setting up on Site 23 at Indiana’s Paynetown SRA, we joined CJ and Phil in Bloomington for a visit that started off on the front porch of the century old house they call home. After a delicious dinner at Upland Brewery (a. Best Fish & Chips in Bloomington, b. Great microbrews, and c. Open on a Monday night in summer) we returned to the house where we thrilled Phil with our Bose surround sound system and unleashed a flood of memories for CJ with a box of memorabilia. Her baby shoes, a college paper, several report cards, the book The Story of Ferdinand, and more. The biggest smiles came when she found The Tiger Handbook, an club manual authored by her and Greg!

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.
