After taking off from work for the trip to Alaska, it was near imperative for Karen to work this weekend, Birthday or not. Steve went to the Arts Center for Saturday Open Studio and at the end of the day presented Karen with a pendant crafted from silver and Alaskan opal. It looks like the view from our window at Alyeska Lodge! We had dinner at Limey’s Pub including Guinness. Limey’s had a map of the London Underground and that prompted CJ to tell tales of London!
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.
