Tonight was one of the reasons why we carry our black and white dance shoes in our T@B. Jane introduced us to the Tuesday night Swing Dance at The Champlain Club in Burlington. We loved the vibe. Michael played a nice selection of eminently danceable tunes. A beautiful dance floor illuminated by hundreds of tiny white lights served as the backdrop for a great evening with new dance friends. A wonderful reminder that dance is good for the soul!
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.
Thought of you both Sunday night, we were at a Florida Orchestra concert and the first part was swing music!
