We’re poking around in Metairie today. The richness that is New Orleans is not limited to The French Quarter. We enjoy exploring the greater area also. For today’s midday repast we chose The Royal Blend and enjoyed some gumbo. Then off to Metairie Cemetery to find a few geocaches and locate the grave of CSA General Beauregard (Thank you, Findery.) before stopping by for one more visit with Cousins Sue and Dick before heading east on I-10. Cool visit! We got to spend quality time with some great people and meet more family members at the birthday party yesterday. And we are coming home with more genealogical questions to research. Family is with celebrating!
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!
