We broke camp in Clinton in the mist and headed north. We arrived in Lexington, Kentucky around noon and had a delightful lunch and afternoon visit with cousins Phil and Jill. After lunch we were able to spend a little time with Anna, one of their triplets, before heading into Cincinnati and lodgings at the Howard Johnson’s. We soothed our souls that evening with a little chocolate, a gift from all our friends at Schakolad back in St Petersburg. Â
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.
