Our goal today has been to savor the south unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. After a bit of excitement with bison cutting through a neighboring campsite we headed out to drive the loop road. Prairie dogs, bison,


incredible views of the badlands. We took photographs but also spent time just looking and a little bit of hiking. Back at the visitors center we listened to the ranger talk and did the “tour” of the Maltese Cross Cabin, TR’s first home in the Dakota Territory. We’re saving the drive to Elkhorn Ranch and the Petrified Forest for next time because this is a special place and we want to return.

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.
