On what is essentially our last night in the cove, we left the cove to drive into Dillsboro to join cove neighbors and others to celebrate Javier’s accomplishment. He graduated with honors today from the Massage Therapy program at Southwestern Community College! It’s been quite a journey of intense study. Now he “just” has to take his boards before taking his position at a local clinic! It was a fun and festive evening at Coach’s at the Jarrett House. And, yes, we did surprise him!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
