Spent the day just enjoying Mary Lou’s company. We started the day with a breakfast at Buck’s, a Redwood City tradition. Spent the afternoon outside on the patio reading, knitting, and just talking. In the evening we had a delicious dinner at the Elephant Bar in Fremont with Lou’s friend Nimfa. It was an altogether relaxing and fun day.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
I like the picture of the coffe cups clinking. who ever thought of that had a good idea. I assume Bucks is a local coffe place and not short for Starbucks. Mary M.
