The party in the days before the party involves guests helping with the prep work. Today we began with Breakfast Pizza and a review of the To Do List. Then a trip to town to glory in Farmers Market, acquire local craft beer, locally baked soft pretzels, fresh salmon, turkey breast, and more. Now we are ally busily making veggie burgers, sausage patties, turkey burgers,etc. and smoking brisket and turkey. This evening more folks arrive and the party cranks up a notch.
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!
