Our stay in Las Cruces was a delightful visit with Marvin and his people. Our friendship with Marvin began in Aberdeen, SD when we visited with Paul, his “Dad”. Now two years later Paul is teaching English in Japan and Marvin is delighting his foster parents, Paul and Beth. Sociable and intelligent, he’s excited about going to doggie daycare, loves to snuggle, and graciously agreed to share his side yard with Sc@rlett, our T@B 400 during our visit.
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.
