Toledo in April! We arrived on a Monday in cold rainy weather and took the opportunity to go out to Maumee Bay State Park. Got a peek at Lake Erie but the weather didn’t invite us to a walk on the beach. Did see some wildlife. A skunk, several deer, and some geese. On sunny Tuesday we toured some of the galleries at the awesome Toledo Museum of Art and see a film on The Art of the Tuileries Garden. We’ve had fun with cousins and an honorary cousin eating good food and swapping stories!
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!
