Our plan as we left Lake Itasca was to travel as far as Fargo, North Dakota. What we didn’t think about was that campsites would be scarce on a weekend in July in a city with few campgrounds. Plan B. We called the toll free number for recreation.gov and got a reservation for two nights at a Corps of Engineers campground north of Valley City. We’ve got a grassy site with a view of the lake. Temperatures are hovering around perfect. The night sky is incredible and we are totally enjoying a day of doing nothing!
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!
