Once again we opted for the Gettysburg National Military Park audio driving tour. It gave us insight into many of the sights we saw. As usual when we do these tours we frequently got out of the car and wandered around at the stops. We’re trying to get a deeper understanding of what happened here and why. One of the things we like about this visit to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania compared to our last visit back in the 1970’s is that with the program of battlefield rehabilitation underway the scenery is much like it was in those infamous three day in July 1863 and it’s easier to envision the events.
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!
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.
