The last time we visited Sugarcreek our dear friends Elsie and Sarah invited us to their house for homemade Rhubarb Pie and Garden Tea. Tonight we invited them to join us for dinner and requested they choose a restaurant new to all of us. Malcuit’s Tavern in Strasburg OH was the choice and we all loved it. Excellent steaks done perfectly. Since we all saved room for dessert so we ventured into Dover for ice cream at Miller’s Creamery, another spot new to all of us. We love every opportunity we get to spend time with these wonderful women!
It was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.
Once the largest cruise ship in the world, Allure of the Seas will be our home for the next seven nights as we cruise the Western Mediterranean and explore the eighteen decks of this behemoth.
Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
