About four hours ago we successfully found Silver Spring Campground in Stowe OH, situated ourselves on a shady site and settled in. After lunch and a nap we’re enjoying salubrious silence. At mid-week the campground is virtually empty so we have the pleasure of listening to the leaves rustling, birds chirping, crows cawing, and little else. A welcome opportunity to spend time reading, sipping coffee, a just enjoying some glorious downtime!
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!
Does not sound like “got lost”, rather, “experienced unanticipated exploration”. You knew where you were and where you wanted to go, just needed to discover the route.
Enjoy the pause.
