Our first foray into Missouri cas come to an end. We’ve enjoyed the experiences we’ve had on this short visit and look forward to an opportunity to visit for a fortnight or more. We didn’t get the chance this trip to even visit St Louis much less dig into its history or try to uncover some family history there. There are many adventures yet to be had in the Show Me State but there are folks expecting us in Indiana and Ohio before we make tracks back to Tween Creeks. We’ve been exploring west of the Mississippi for some twelve weeks and it’s been fabulous. The time has come through to begin trekking through the eastern states for a while.
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!
