Traveling between Barstow and Bakersfield it’s hot, flat, dry, and forbidding with mountains in the distance. We drove through the town of Boron, the home of the largest borax mine in the world and the Kramer Junction Solar Generation Facility. We’ve passed Twenty Mule Team Road, Edwards AFB, the alternate space shuttle landing site, lots of stored airplanes at the Mojave Airport, and the Alta Wind Energy Farm near Mojave CA. Not to mention cactus!
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!
