Cisco Fest 2022, Part Four
September 16 – 28 With some time to kill before our next tour, we made our way back north to Bardstown and after some debate, and driving around looking at options, settled on Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken, which specializes in chicken, homestyle sides, and biscuits. After the sale of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in 1964, […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part Three
September 16 – 28 Our first full day on the Bourbon Trail would be a full one, both from a time elapsed standpoint and an enjoyment quotient perspective. We’d be heading south 50 miles to the small town of Loretto, home of Maker’s Mark. Long one of my favorite brands (I’ve also consumed prodigious quantities […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part Two
September 16 – 28 We left the farm and having seen all that liquid pumping through the collection mechanism, realized that we all needed a bit of our own wet refreshment to carry us through the afternoon. This led to a stop at Beachwood, the kind of casual bar you can often find close to […]
Cisco Fest 2022, Part One
September 16 – 28 As mentioned in the last post, a few weeks after our return from Europe I had a total right knee replacement. The surgery went well as did my recovery, which is long and somewhat arduous as one must be diligent about protecting the limb while it is healing as well as […]
Europe 2022 – Munich, Part Five
June 25 – 27 The next morning, given the long lead time between waking up and eventually getting food on the plane, we opted to enjoy the hotel breakfast at 12-Euros apiece and were very glad to have done so as it came a close second to the one we had experienced at the Meininger […]
Europe 2022 – Munich, Part Four
June 25 – 27 Having been to Munich so many times in the past and although it seems hard to believe from these last couple of posts that all we did while here was drink beer, in fact we’ve hit almost all the major tourist spots. These would be, in no particular order: In […]
Europe 2022 – Munich, Part Three
June 25 – 27 We entered the BMW Museum on the ground floor and then worked our way to the top of the “salad bowl or white cauldron” via a spiral walkway then wound our way back down a floor or two, the exhibits here focusing on the company’s sustainability initiatives. From the first-floor ground […]
Europe 2022 – Munich, Part Two
June 25 – 27 After finishing up our welcome drinks at the Premier, we made our way up the street to Karlsplatz, which is the gateway on Neuhauser Strasse to Munich’s pedestrian only historic center and its highpoint, the Marienplatz. Our destination was a familiar one, unique in that of all of the towns we […]
Europe 2022 – Munich, Part One
June 25 – 27 Given that our train trip to Munich this day would take less than two hours, we opted for a late morning departure that would get us into town around 2:30, just before check-in at Premier Inn Munich City Zentrum Hotel, our hotel for the duration. We left the Pensione with an […]
Europe 2022 – Innsbruck, Part Two
June 23 – 24 We set out the next day to see as much as we could within walking distance of the pensione, easy to do given our central location. First up though was to head a block towards the train station to stop in at the MPREIS on the corner. An Austrian food retail […]
