Any trip to Maine needs to include an incredible seaside meal of lobster. A friend in Florida gave us directions to Cook’s Lobster House on a spit of land on the north end of Bailey Island south of Brunswick overlooking Casco Bay. We headed there today for a midday feast overlooking the docks where the lobster are unloaded. We both ordered the Hot Lobster Roll. Chunks of lobster meat nestled with some lettuce inside a grilled bun served with drawn butter and with chips and slaw on the side. Total decadence! An absolute delight for the taste buds. But then we had to top it off with Jan’s award winning Blueberry Pie. The filling was amazing. Maine blueberries have such an intense blueberry flavor and then to be encased in flaky pastry and topped with premium vanilla ice cream. Wow! And fabulous service and a view of the world famous Cribstone Bridge!
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!
