We started our day at the Big Sky Motel in Wolf Point in northeastern Montana then spent the day traveling due west along US 2, once known as the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway which ran from Portland,Maine to Portland, Oregon. It runs parallel to the train track and we saw many very long freight trains. At lunchtime we stopped in the tiny town of Chinook. The Blaine County Museum was closed but we enjoyed a lunch at the pizza place and some good conversations with with the owner and also with the local jeweler who opened the conversation by telling us he didn’t know us so we must be visitors. By early evening we had made our way to the St Mary KOA just east of Glacier National Park. We spent the hour before sunset inside the park then enjoyed a wonderful steak dinner at a rustic restaurant just outside the park borders then returned to our campsite and set up our tent after dark!

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

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.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

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!
