It turned out to be a bright and beautiful Sunday. Much of the snow had melted. Elaine fed us a delicious breakfast and we lingered at the table as we visited with the other guests. Then we went for a hike accompanied by Cinnamon and Molly. They were perfect canine hostesses and tour guides. One led the group, the other brought up the rear. We said our good byes to Elaine and the dogs and enjoyed a leisurely drive back to El Dorado stopping for lunch at the No Pity Cafe in Madrid.
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!
