Another of the Deck Day traditions is the trip to the trash/recycling depot. Somehow we didn’t have the energy to get the multiple bags loaded and transported but this morning it’s time to do what must be done. It doesn’t mean Deck Week is done – the party is continuing and we still have one more balloon surviving.
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!
Curiously, the last Deck Day balloon spontaneously just burst, about a minute after Brian departed.
Shrapnel from my heartbreak perhaps? Hope there was no other damage.
