And the Bridges

2016 Out West, Iowa, Road Trip


Even before the 1992 publication of Robert James Waller’s novel and the 1995 release of the movie starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep the Bridges of Madison County, Iowa have been celebrated. This one was moved to Winterset City Park in 1970 before the first Covered Bridge Festival. We checked it out after a dinner at the Northside Cafe in town but weren’t inclined to seek any others or even any geocaches in this extreme heat. It’s not just the humidity, it’s also the heat, with heat index over 105°F !

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.

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.
