We awakened on Saturday morning to a bright and glorious day with snow all around. We had planned to hike but none of us – Floridian or New Mexican – had proper footwear so we whiled away the day watching the snow melt, reading in the glorious living room at Elaine’s, and sneaking in little naps. It was a most relaxing day. To keep us from developing cabin fever we did go in to town for lunch and shopping, and later for dinner. Much to the delight of us Floridians, we chilled our wine and beer in the snow on the balcony outside our room.
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!
