Marquette Tourist Park west of Pictured Rocks offered a good place to rest our heads last night. We arrived without a reservation but still got Site 43 with electric, water, shade, and soon rain. We were grateful for good Verizon service and spent some time on the phone catching up with family and friends. This morning as we were emptying tanks we spent some time with Nick, a teacher from Tallahassee, Florida who spends his summers each year exploring Michigan’s U.P. while camping in his truck. After a T@B 400 tour, he’s wanting to rethink his sleeping accommodations.
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!
