What a fun evening! There were ten of us for dinner at Bellisimo’s. All family or friends that are like family. Excellent food and great conversation. Then eight of us continued on to OnStage in Bedford for a delightful community theater rendition of Xanadu. Four of us finished off the evening on the patio with either Samuel Smith’s Chocolate Stout or Bacardi’s 1873 in iced decaf.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
