Trying to get back into the groove. Yesterday Kirk and Steve resumed the house renovation project and Karen returned to All Children’s. We did celebrate Independence Day with our silversmithing friends at Deb & Win’s house. They have a wonderful spot for viewing fireworks out on the dock. We could see the St Pete Beach fireworks in one direction, downtown
St Petersburg in another, and Gulfport in yet another direction. Our heads kept swiveling!
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
