No, the storm didn’t miss us. It swept through the campground with a vengeance leaving a trail of destruction. We had been unaware of the intensity of the storm since Doug & Mia have lined all their windows with reflectix. We didn’t see the lightning nor hear the thunder but were aware only of the sound of the rain on the T@B roof. After the storm had passed we made our way back home, checked our tents and lines, assured that all was well we climbed into bed. Just before sleep we checked Facebook to discover that several of our fellow campers had sustained damage. A walk around in the morning revealed several flattened canopies and twisted frames as well as damage to the electric system in one T@B. The whole mood was lifted though by the delicious breakfast prepared by Rich & Susan!
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!
