Historical New Years Events In London

 OK who is this?

 

Catherine Of Aragon

Every Henry VIII fan needs to visit these places in London

 

Catherine of Aragon was King Henry VIII’s first wife and his longest marriage. After his brother died, Henry obtained a papal dispensation to marry his wife, Catherine, as he had been in love with her for some time. For 23 years, Henry and Catherine remained married and produced a daughter named Mary.

Ah yes I started my interest in the UK from a book I found in the library at school, when I was in 8th grade  The book was on the Tower of London    (Click for a youTube tour by a professional guide–free)                                               and it’s dark history including the death of two of Henry’s 6 wives (check out the article above on Henry and his wives for more details on that) two of which,  Anne and Katherine are both buried under the floor in the Tower’s chapel along with Lady Jane Gray who was pushed by her father into contending for the throne against Bloody Mary– and who lost her head under Mary’s reign-Henry’s first child an undesired daughter who remained  true to the Catholic faith despite her father usurping the Church in England away from the Church of Rome.   It was a prison for many including a major Nazi during WWII.  But watch the video and find out more.

Do you know how and when Pompeii was destroyed?

 

Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii

The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Pompeii (Updated 2022)

 

Pompeii was destroyed when Vesuvius errupted on August 24, AD 79    That eruption also destroyed the cities of Herculaneum, Stabiae, Torre Annunziata, and other nearby communities.

The Lost City of Pompeii

Dig up secrets about this buried ancient civilization.

 The only eyewitness account of the eruption that we have comes from Pliny the Younger, (the nephew of the naturalist and naval commander Pliny the Elder), via letters he wrote 17 years after the disaster, describing the eruption of Vesuvius.  And it is from him that we get a time line of what happened during those fateful days.

This is a city or rather the remains of one,  that have long interested me and is one of several that were lost that day to the horror of the hot death that come from the mountain.   And while it’s on my wish list it is not one that I have seen but it is one that I have spent time and energy reading about and researching—which is something you can do and while it doesn’t count as an actual tour it does count on my list as DOING SOMETHING and getting your self prepared for you next (or in some cases your first) adventure.

23 Best Things to do in Key West (2022)

The best thing about Key West is that wonderful, surprising things happen where life is more relaxed and people feel free to be themselves.  It’s in the way people dress, and the lack of pretense.    That little bar you find by accident may become your special “place” for the next 20 years, or breakfast by the pool may produce afternoon companions who become friend for life.  Key West is more than a place, it’s an attitude.

Now this is a town I have spent many long periods of time in—was here for my honeymoon and many times after-Key West–it is a laid back town that caters to tourist but it’s citizens are a crazy bunch that spends only part of their time catering and the rest living a life at the end of the USA and the beginning of craziness…..Fantasy Fest is a must for a visit (if you don’t mind alott of nudity and craziness and that kind of stuff)–but so is off season and Christmas is nice too—-try it if you are up for a bit of free spirit and hardy partying.

And don’t forget you can get here by plane—-or drive down by  Miami and  on to Flagler’s Overseas Highway–and see all the other fun islands along Hwy 1—

25 Amazing Things to Do in the Texas Hill Country

 

 In 1909, patent medicine magnate Charles Simmons built a railroad through Atascosa County to a water rich area called the Artesian Belt.  Jordan Campbell helped found a town at a stop on the Artesian Belt Railroad, and Jourdanton became a livestock and cotton shipping center.  Having attracted a railroad, local sucessfully campaigned in 1910 to relocate the county sat from Pleasanton.  Centuries old Jourdanton celebrates its heritage through the restored 1912 Mission-style Atascosa County Courthous–rehabilitated through the Texas Historical Commission’s Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program–and a replica of the county’s 1856 log cabin courthouse.

12 Best & Fun Things to Do in Rügen, Germany (2022 Guide)

 

The hilly coast of  the Baltic island of Rugen (Germany) has, according to legend,  its origin when in order that a local giant might cross dry shod from  this island to the shore of Pomerania, the fellow thought to fill the sea in between.  But the bulging sack which he hauled the stones he had collected for the task was ripped open by the steeple of a church, the great stones fell out, to be wasted  in a line of useless hills.  So with that, the giant quit in vexation and left the area for good.
