Fall Colors

Living in Tucson where there are four seasons: early summer, summer, late summer and next summer, we rarely get to see fall colors like most people. So we really enjoyed driving across the country this fall on our way back to EcstaSea where she is berthed in Charleston, South Carolina.

We drove east through New Mexico, Oklahoma, Missouri and into Nashville, Tennessee where we stayed for a few days. We stopped at the Loveless Cafe and had their world famous biscuits and I (Willow) was introduced to moonshine in my iced tea. So now that we are in the South, i will continue the exploration of my newfound love of "moonshine". Did you know that it comes in all kinds and varieties? So far, the cherry is my favorite!!!

While in Nashville, we explored the music world every night at such places as Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. Music everywhere and always along with happy hour at all hours. The Captain procured tickets to an Alan Jackson concert at the Nashville Hall of Fame auditorium. And as to be expected,
Alan Jackson did not disappoint, but delighted us above and beyond expectations.

Then on to my Captain's home town of Chattanooga, Tennessee. So wonderful to see my "Southern Gentleman's" roots.

Then on to more fall colors in Highlands, North Carolina. Magnificent reds and more reds...

And finally on into Charleston, South Carolina and EcstaSea! And just as soon as we got her into the water, it was full moon. What  a gift from the Mother once again as we settle into our ocean life. And now soon, on to the Caribbean....
