We had wanted to spend more time in southwestern Colorado in this area with so much Ancestral Puebloan history but the weather forecast was for snow. We decided to head for Santa Fe sooner than planned. We headed south to Shiprock then across northern New Mexico enjoying the scenery all the way. After a dinner at Brumby’s with Bill, we settled in for an evening of election returns on a night when the U.S. voters made history.
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!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
I have seen ship rock from the air and always wondered where it was. Never wondered about it when I was near a computer however,
