Actually it’s a really rainy day outdoors, perfect for hanging out with all the lights on and jazz streaming from our iTunes account while we work on the Things to Do list. Suddenly it was a Sunny Day indoors when we realized we were listening to the Oscar Peterson Trio performance of the Sesame Street theme and started dancing in the living room. It triggered a memory from September 1970 of hearing the song Rubber Duckie playing on WGGG Radio in Gainesville just as the two of us were beginning our professional studies at UF and at USF. We treasure those little memories that come from a long shared history!
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.
