Who knows what kind of delights are waiting just down the road. Today in the town of Austin, Minnesota, we discovered the Spam Museum. It’s a delightfully fun trip through the history of Hormel Foods in general and Spam in particular. There’s been a Hormel Museum since 1991 but this particular completely redesigned one opened in 2016 as the company was celebrating its 125th Anniversary. Part of the fun are the Spambassadors circulating to answer questions, take your photo, or to offer you a Spample of the iconic spiced ham on a pretzel stick! Definitely worth the stop!
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!
Spamtastic!!
Indubitably!
