The weather continued to be cold – at least for our Florida blood – and windy. We enjoyed the opportunity to sit around in comfy recliners enjoying the fire in the woodstove and reading novels. When Bill got home from work we made a delicious dinner – wish we could make grilled chicken that good – then went with Bill to the rehearsal of the Eldorado Community Band. For folks like us who have little or no experience playing in a band, it was fascinating and educational.

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.
