We started the day with an uphill four mile walk to the El Dorado Agora and rewarded ourselves with a cup of excellent tea at Las Chivas Coffeeshop. Lou met us there and we sat and talked for a while before heading back to the house and doing a very quick job of packing. In the afternoon we visited the Indian Jewelry Supply in Albuquerque. Lou and Jana were at least as excited about the jewelry possibilities as Steve. We left with the materials for several projects! After a wonderful gathering over dinner, Lou & Bill dropped the two of us off at the Holiday Inn Express so we could be close to the airport for an early morning departure!
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!
