Plans change. We thought we would drive the entire Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway but instead we’re headed to the house to drop the trailer tonight and catch an early morning flight to Texas to be with family. Back in 1975 the two of us planned to drive the entire Skyline/Blue Ridge and stopped early when we realized we wouldn’t have enough time to do it justice. Here’s to hoping our third attempt, hopefully in the relatively near future, will be successful. For now though our Summer Ramble is on hold.
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!
