From our visit in 2012 we fondly remember Grand Marais as the location of the first gas station west of Muskallonge and a restaurant where we grabbed a meal before hurrying off to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. This time we lingered a little. Now we can tell you that it is home to Woodland Park Campground which boasts a laundry room and is situated between Lake Superior and the First Lutheran Church whose chimes ring every half hour from 8AM to 8:30PM. It’s also home to the Lake Superior Brewing Company restaurant which was out of many many menu items but served a decent Chicken Tenders meals and a nice Pale Ale. They didn’t offer dessert but directed us to the Breakwall Bakery and Cafe where we enjoyed a luscious Cherry Cheesecake and coffee. We must go back sometime to try the Fudge Puddles! On the three block walk back to the T@B we stopped by the gas station/grocery and restocked our larder after locating their geocache! Grand Marais is definitely on our map now. We’ll be back to explore this tiny town more thoroughly!
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!
