Ein Prosit


Mat Long and I stopped in Munich to have a beer with 8,000 of our close German friends. #end

Curry Kings



Posting this a bit late, but here is Mat Long and I checking into the Royal Gardenia Hotel in Bangalore India.

The hotel was very nice (a la Four Seasons) and it seemed at times that there were more butlers than staff. #end

Colonial Magazine


Here is Sarah and I standing just outside the Courthouse across the street from the colonial magazine. The magazine was used for storing armaments like gunpowder and muskets.

We are going to see a re-enactment of a trial in a few minutes. Tonight we are scheduled to go to an event about colonial pirates. #end

Raleigh Tavern



We are taking a break at the Raleigh Tavern Bake Shop. When the House if Burgesses was dissolved, many delegates, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, congregated here to discuss actions against England.

Sarah and I are commemorating this event by having a Raleigh Tavern Pale Ale, some pretzel bread, and some gingerbread. #end

Williamsburg







We have been having fun tooling around Colonial Williamsburg.

Last night we attended a witch trial. Sarah and I voted to convict the witch on trial. However, there was no witch burning. Afterwards, we went to Chowning's Tavern for music and drink. Chowning's Tavern Ale was quite tasty - they also use stale bread strips with the soup and cheese pots in lieu of utensils. Sarah got some ribs, but they were not as good as Vicki's

Earlier this morning, Sarah took a respite with Thomas Jefferson (in bronze) when we visited the Williamsburg farmer's market.

Today, we took a horse carriage ride and are about to take a tour of the stables and here how the colonials took care of their equine partners. #end
