It’s Columbus Day Weekend and it’s the end of tourist season in NH. With the late autumn foliage this year the colors have not yet peaked but it’s time for us visitors to get out of town. Our campground for the last two nights closes at noon on Monday. We chose today drive through Franconia Notch and begin our southbound journey. It’s not the road we remember having traveled through the notch back in 1976, it’s now an interstate highway, and with the pouring rain from the remnants of Hurricane Nate we were not inclined to stop at the Old Man of the Mountain Profile Plaza or Flume Gorge. We journeyed on through Vermont, where every little town it seems has a Fall Festival today, and into New York. Campgrounds are getting scarce but we did succeed in getting a site at a KOA near Oneonta not far from Cooperstown. With tomorrow’s forecast looking like an all day rain we’re booked for two nights here.

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.
