We’re still here in Florida, working on projects and getting in our daily walks and recommended daily doses of sunsets and healthy food.
We don’t do much that’s exciting from day to day. Nathan reads, studies languages, and practices the piano. I’ve made some crafts, worked on my website, and done plenty of drawing. We have the advantage of plenty of time for daily workouts and walks. The weather has been mostly cool, but there have been some swings up and down. It’s mostly been quite nice until today. We caught the southern end of the massive storm that’s swept across so much of the country. We had some serious rain–it was pretty exciting!
We’ve only had a few “events” while we’ve been here. About a week ago, we woke up to find that our refrigerator had died in the night. Nathan grabbed a couple of bags of ice to turn our non-functional freezer into an icebox and later that day a maintenance guy brought us a mini fridge. It wasn’t ideal, but it worked for a few days. We were surprised yesterday when a new fridge was delivered and we are happy to have a working freezer and regular-sized fridge again.
The other happenings this week were an outing and a show. One day we drove to the charming town of Seaside. They built it in the 80s to look like it is a lot older. It was also a filming location for The Truman Show. It’s very cute and walkable and we enjoyed our afternoon there. On Thursday, we went to see the local community theater production of Murder on the Orient Express. It was fun and they did a great job. It’s tough to have amateur actors tackling all the different European accents, but they mostly rose to the challenge.
We’ve had the chance to research and plan some new travel adventures for this year. We’ve also been able to nail down some of our schedule for the coming months, so that’s been nice. For the most part, things won’t be much different…some time for just us, some time with family and some time traveling. We have one more week here in Miramar Beach and then we set out for points north! Have a great week!
We Are Family
If we were done with our travels, I would take the next two weeks to relate our adventures in Romania and Switzerland. But we have more things coming up, so this is going to be a longer post. I’ll give you the highlights first, and then you can read on if you want more details.
Slower, With a British Accent
We’ve been in London since we left the cruise ship. This week was a bit slower and a welcome break from the last six weeks of constant movement. We’ve had some fun, eaten some good food, caught up on sleep, and made plans for the summer.
Baltic Beauty
The last post was all about the first half of our cruise and now I’ll tell you about the rest. We stopped in Helsinki, Tallinn, and Kristiansand and there was another unexpected change of plans.
