Interspersed with periods of pouring rain were moments of smoky mountain scenery. We had planned to drive to Tampa today but changed our plans because of heavy rain everywhere between here and Tampa. Instead we got the last of the boxes either unpacked or placed in the study closet temporarily. Now it looks as if we live there, not like we are moving in. We even have the first of our Christmas decorations up: Steve’s mother’s 80 year old German made Nativity set.
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.
