We drove south on US-101 trying to make time. We did stop at one California state park to drive through a giant redwood, but then scooted over to CA-1 at Olema and visited the campground where we stayed on our Honeymoon. Crossed the Golden Gate bridge into San Francisco then got confused trying to follow the directions on the GPS. We managed to find our way into the Redwood City area. We calmed our nerves at Kepler’s Books then met up with Mary Lou and followed her to her new digs where we met her housemate, Francesca, and settled in for a pleasant evening.
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!
