Rock and Roll in Cleveland



Today we went to the front of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 

We also saw the SiriusXM studio that broadcasts on channel 26.

We spent 2 1/2 hours but some people could spend a whole day.  We definitely recommend going to the Hall of Fame if you’re ever in Cleveland. They have lots of memorabilia starting in the 1920’s.  It includes many costumes worn by artists, instruments, hand-written music, and contracts. There are a lot of video clips and pictures. We didn’t recognize everybody, but they all contributed to this music industry.  They have everything from Ma Rainey to Taylor Swift and Machine Gun Kelly.  









And we were able to see our boat out of one of the windows. It’s the last boat at the far end of this dock.  Taurus gets around! 

In addition, 5 Looper boats got together for dock tails this evening. Fun times.

    Sounds like a great day. Also it looks some of the loopers dropped in age. 😎

      You’re right! We have picked up a couple in their 40’s. They are telecommuting for their jobs, just as Fred is. It’s a new world, that’s for sure.

Melbourne, Florida - Our Winter Home

Image
We made it to Melbourne, FL, Taurus’s home for the next three and a half months!  Melbourne is also where our son lives, so we are going to get some good time in seeing him this winter. So great!!  We saw him after work and for dinner today.  It’s been too long. We need Covid-19 to be done please! We left Fort Pierce this morning and had an uneventful cruise.  We saw an old favorite - a tug pushing a barge! We saw some more electric wires crossing the bay for those in the barrier islands. Once we were settled in our new marina, Fred and I took a walk to the Eau Gallie Art District (EGAD). We walked through an older residential neighborhood. There were Aloe Vera plants that are humongous! Aloe Vera plants in the neighborhood near our marina Plus there were cactus There were a couple of historic signs And at the end of the night - Christmas lights!

Georgetown, SC and Rice!

We spent today in Georgetown, because for the next few days there won’t be much to go see.  We went to the Rice Museum where the  Brown’s Ferry Vessel remnants are located.  It sank in the 18th century in Black River carrying 25 tons of bricks made on a plantation. Artifacts, including green glass English wine bottles, oars, millstones, iron pots, a straight razor and smoking pipes made of gourds.  The items enabled historians to date the time of its sinking to between 1730 and 1740. This period is about 50 years earlier than previous American shipbuilding discoveries. Model of Brown’s Ferry Vessel  The ribs are made from cypress trees  by the water  that were plentiful here in South Carolina.  The planks on the sides were hewn by ax and are all the same thickness.  I’m not sure how you do that with an ax.  Remnants of Brown's Ferry Vessel We also learned about rice growing in South Carolina.  The planters bought 40,000 acres of lan...
