Spent part of the day getting the household back to normal after the excitement of the Christmas holidays. Spent the evening with friends. Konni and Heinz are visiting from Germany and joined us for dinner downtown and for dancing at the Savoy South Make Believe Ballroom. We always enjoy their visits. This time we looked at pictures of their hometown on the internet. At the dance, CJ was joined by friend Des, a fellow Chemistry student and former lab partner.
 
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.
