We awakened to a rainy morning. Since we hadn’t gone into Talkeetna Wednesday evening we felt it imperative that we go in for breakfast. So we grabbed umbrellas and set out. The shuttle took us only so far then we traveled afoot on in to the little town. We joined other Moosecruisers at a very crowded The Roadhouse for breakfast. Chatted with other guests about their travels. Enjoyed the ride into Anchorage in Tim’s Luxury Motorcoach. Lunched on Reindeer Dogs at Michael’s Dog Stand in Anchorage. Must follow Michael’s rules to the “T” in order to be served! Enjoyed an afternoon and evening exploring Anchorage, Alaska’s biggest city, including a memorable visit to the Alaska Experience Theater to learn about the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake that measured 9.2 on the Richter Scale and was the second most powerful quake every recorded.
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
