Leaving Nevada behind, we’re in California! We’ve been traveling I-80 more or less following the Truckee River in a direction opposite to its flow from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake. It’s gorgeous and cool up here at 7,056 feet. The Pacific Crest Trail passes through here on its way from Mexico to Canada. Meanwhile as we now leave the Truckee behind, we’re headed to the South Fork of the American River.
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.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
