It would have been an awesome campsite at a cooler time of the year. As Harvest Hosts members, we were granted permission to stay overnight last night at the Strataca Salt Mine Museum in Hutchinson, Kansas within sight of mining equipment and rail cars. Just a parking lot. No amenities. And on a hot July night in Kansas, we’ll let’s just say that without air conditioning, it was memorable, somewhat reminiscent of our childhood summer nights in Florida before our homes were climate controlled!
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!
