Yesterday afternoon we pulled into the community of El Dorado at Santa Fe and parked our T@B in Bill’s driveway for a weekend visit.  We enjoyed the patio and libations with Bill as daylight began to wane then were happy recipients of a delicious home cooked spaghetti dinner. Bill introduced us to a mystery series on Netflix and we watched the first episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. We made some plans for the weekend eschewing the balloon fiesta since we’d all had fabulous experiences in years past and may well do so again but desire calmer more relaxing activities this time. This morning we two have enjoyed an opportunity to get a few projects done while enjoying being outside under fabulous blue skies and just a hint of a breeze.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
