Initially we thought we would go to the National Archives at Waltham but then realized how long the trip would be and decided to do it on a day when we were prepared to leave early. Maybe Monday. Instead we walked to Lambert’s and got makings for tonight’s dinner. Then in the afternoon we took the “T” to Copley Square and checked out the genealogy offerings at Boston Public Library but discovered that they are not as extensive as we had hoped. We took advantage of the beautiful afternoon and wandered through Copley Square. We love the juxtaposition of old and new in this vibrant city. At the Farmer’s Market in Copley we got some local goat cheese then headed home to begin dinner preparations. Greg shared the last of his first home brew with us and we all enjoyed a Beef Braise prepared with Joel’s excellent recipe and served on Gram Lucille’s china.
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!
