After parking and shopping at Target, lunch at Pearl, & shopping at Kohl’s, we climbed into the camper for an afternoon nap. After she got off work, Lou met us in the parking lot of Target in Mountain View. From there we headed to a storage place and parked the camper for a five day stay then back to Lou’s apartment to find an on street parking space for Eric the Red, drink some excellent wine, walk out to dinner, and a visit with Megan and Jason.
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!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
