Woke up to rain, lots of rain. Did some temporary measures for rainwater diversion using aluminum foil to keep water away from the house. We’ll do more permanent measures someday soon. Meanwhile we were amazed at how quickly our little streams become swollen and fast flowing. Besides wandering around in the pouring rain, we spent the day unpacking and trying to find homes for our stuff. We found the rest of the floor of the study. Now it’s a room, not a storage unit!
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.
