Today we headed to the “big city” of New Philadelphia, the county seat of Tuscarawas County. At a population of about seventeen thousand it’s big enough to provide an array of goods and services. We enjoyed a down home lunch at Michael’s Restaurant before heading to Valvoline for an oil change. Would you believe it, getting the oil changed was actually fun! We didn’t have to leave the car and while the technician was working we were exchanging travel tips with the service writer. Excellent service. We’ve been there before and will return again! Found some useful items at Staples and at Lowes then decided it was time to head to Dover Road Dari for ice cream and iced tea.
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!
