It’s been two and a half years in the planning but we finally made it to a Sunday night dance in Madison, Wisconsin! We first meet members of this dance community as we were boarding the Norwegian Star in Tampa in January 2012. According to a pre-arrangement, they asked “Will there be much dancing on this ship?” in the week that followed we had so much fun together that we knew we wanted to visit them in Madison and now we have finally joined them for a Sunday night dance!
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!
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.
