Drove across Arkansas knowing that we were giving short shrift to a beautiful state. We will definitely come back and explore Arkansas more in depth. Headed for Memphis. Crossed the Mississippi River, so we are now back in the East. Found lodging in downtown Memphis and took the Main Street trolley to Beale Street. Enjoyed the live music, barbequed ribs, and Black Magic beer at B.B.King’s Blues Club. We saw few people out walking around on Beale Street since the temperature was near freezing. The atmosphere inside the clubs was much warmer than outside. Bought a little bit of Blues City BBQ sauce so the taste of Memphis can linger a little longer in our lives.
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!
