We suspected last evening that we would get rain during the night. With that in mind we packed up our outdoor furnishings before bed. Indeed we got rain throughout the night and all morning so far. It’s been sufficiently light to allow us to cook a breakfast that we ate inside and to break camp without getting soaked. Now we are on our way in the rain to Kinderhook, home of Martin Van Buren.
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!
Very kind of Nature to rain on a travel day instead of a site visiting day.
