Our pursuit of Vermont and Ethan Allen history was interrupted by a delightful lunch on the patio of Bayview Bar and Grill overlooking Mallett’s Bay in Colchester followed by a wander along the waterfront just enjoying the sunshine and scenery before making our way to a little hike along the Colchester Causeway, a rails to trail tracing the route once taken by milk and butter trains. The sunshine didn’t last. Storm clouds began to gather and we trekked back to the car. Later our quest to find a restaurant where we could treat Jane to dinner was thwarted by the leaf peepers who flocked to the area to enjoy the beautiful foliage. We chose to get Chinese takeout and enjoy one another’s company back at Janes’s. And indeed the rain came. Late this evening Jane drove us back to our T@B and participated in the placing of the Vermont sticker on our map. It’s been a fabulous visit, thanks for being a great guide, Jane!
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!
