Only a friend who had once lived and worked in Haiti would be thrilled to be your guest when there’s no place to sit down in your house and would choose to sleep on a sofa with no cushions! That’s our Blythe. There are so many facets to our friendship, one of which is that she is a weaver. So we made a trip to a weaver’s mecca, Earth Guild in Asheville. While we were there we attended Mass at the very beautiful St Lawrence Basilica and drove home via the Blue Ridge Parkway.
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!
