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

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

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.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

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.
