It’s a day for some of the quintessential tastes of Cincinnati. This morning we shopped Kroger (a Cincinnati grocery chain) and got some Skyline Chili (a Cincinnati specialty) and some Glier’s Goetta (Okay, it’s true our Cincinnati born and bred mothers both always made goetta from scratch but the commercial variety is good too!) Then after lunch at Hyde Park we went with Aunt Mary to Graeter’s. All three of us indulged in some Black Raspberry Chip topped with Bittersweet. We were going to be good and have just one scoop until our very personable server Jenn convinced us that we really wanted two scoops each!
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!
