Our original intention was to leave Cincinnati this morning but we couldn’t resist the invitation to join the family picnic at Steve’s cousin’s house this afternoon. So after a wonderful steak & eggs breakfast (a September 1st tradition for us) with our B&B hosts Maria and Scott, we set up camp at Winton Woods. We’ve camped there many times, and in fact we’ve camped before on the same site. We were successful at finding the laptop power cord that has been lost twice already on this trip (one reason for the delay in publishing our blog). Then spent the afternoon and evening enjoying the company of extended family.
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!
