The rain started Tuesday afternoon and has continued since. It makes for good sleeping with the sounds of rain on the metal roof. It’s made us thoughtful about when to just pop out to get something out of the T@B or the truck or when to use the hot tub but just now we saw a gorgeous sunset that is clearly a blessing of these days of misty rain! And of course the luscious green trees that envelope us here on the mountainside appreciate the slow soaking rains.
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.
