July rolled around and we’re still in Pinellas. Saturday Night Swing in Largo celebrated July birthdays and Arleene was in the middle of the circle dance. Karen would have been also but for the fact that she danced last month thinking we would be off on our trip by now. But it won’t be much longer. We decided today that the upcoming week will be our last week here in Pinellas for now. Gary is getting stronger day by day. He’s moving back home on Tuesday and seems to be ready to start driving. There’s a few more things we can do to ease his transition home then we need to be on our way. So we bid farewell til next time to our Saturday night dancing friends. It’s been fun being here these last several weeks but now it is time to move on.
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!
