Our plans to just relax and watch the sun set this evening were revised when we learned that there would be a laser light show at Grand Coulee Dam this evening. We decided to take advantage of the opportunity and headed to the dam as dusk began to settle. We went down to the picnic area and just as dark began to fold around us the spillways were opened to provide a screen for the presentation. That in itself was pretty awesome. As the show started we repositioned so we could hear the public address speakers and settled onto the grass to watch One River, Many Voices. There was one point at which the show was upstaged by the deer behind us feeding on the grass and on leaves of a tree, just barely within reach of the does!
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.
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.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
