This morning in Santa Fe we wakened to snow patched on the ground, snow flurries in the air, and black skies to the north. So of course we headed south – to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, near the town of Carlsbad, New Mexico in the southeastern corner of the state. We arrived at the Caverns in time to do a quick self guided tour of The Big Room. It’s incredibly massive with unbelievable geologic formations everywhere. It’s one of those places the camera just cannot even begin to capture the wonder. We can only say “Wow!”
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!
