Home for the night has been Site 15 at the Lake Michigan Campground in Hiawatha National Forest just west of St Ignace, Michigan on US-2. No hookups but with our NPS Senior Pass the fee was only $10 for a lakefront site. The fact that we could get decent Verizon data speeds made it a good place for blogging and trip planning. The mosquitoes made it a good place to demonstrate that Thermacell technology works but also made us more inclined to hang out inside. There are some sites that would be great for solar but we chose a forested site so we could keep the shade open and enjoy the view from our stargazer window!
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!
Looks like a fun and beautiful place. Miss you guys.
Stay safe and God Bless
