We broke camp in Clinton in the mist and headed north. We arrived in Lexington, Kentucky around noon and had a delightful lunch and afternoon visit with cousins Phil and Jill. After lunch we were able to spend a little time with Anna, one of their triplets, before heading into Cincinnati and lodgings at the Howard Johnson’s. We soothed our souls that evening with a little chocolate, a gift from all our friends at Schakolad back in St Petersburg. Â
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!
