After a day spend scrubbing, cleaning, vacuuming, and so on in an attempt to leave our apartment as pristine as it was when we got it, we treated ourselves to an evening of dance and friends at Nova 535 the newest of Jamie & Arleene’s swing dance venues. It’s a fabulously renovated art gallery and social gathering place. We toured some of the party rooms and hobnobbed with friends old and new as well as danced with one another and with friends.
 
 
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.
