Van Horn RV Park

2018 West, Road Trip, Texas

Yesterday afternoon we pulled into an RV park in Van Horn, Texas, imaginatively named Van Horn RV Park and were warmly greeted by Penny, one of the owners, and by the manager of the onsite restaurant, Penny’s Cafe. With a welcome like that, of course we walked the short distance to the cafe and savored some Country Fried Steak and Fried Catfish finished with an amazing Pecan Cobbler à la mode, then took a walk around this West Texas campground that’s recently suffered rains and flooding. So of course this morning it rained again! While we were preparing for departure we saw the Wheelie Across America support vehicles pull in to empty tanks. We’d not been aware of Kurt Osborne’s quest to break his own record for longest bicycle wheelie until we saw him and is caravan on I-10 eastbound yesterday and looked him up although we wren’t quick enough to snap a photo. Good luck, Kurt!

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.
