- When you plan for a weekend getaway in Indiucky in February, you cannot plan for the weather.
- Make sure you have contingencies for rain, snow, hail, and frogs falling from the sky.
- Note to self – Work on your facial expression when told that the breakfast buffet was $21 a person. Also, do not ask if for that price you are given your choice of pig the bacon is cut from and which chicken lays the eggs.
- While enjoying a delicious meal in a delightful little German restaurant, pay no mind to the marching music coming from the dining room speakers. They don’t mean it that way.
- Also, waitresses in southern Indiana may have a hard time when you pronounce the names of the dishes with a semi-Bavarian accent.
- It’s “Potato Pancakes” not “Kartoffelpuffer”
- Being able to pronounce “Kasespaetzle” doesn’t help. Just say “Cheese noodles”
- She did, however, know what I meant when I said “Oktoberfest” when asked what kind of beer I wanted.
- Having two liters of good German beer with dinner, then going to the souvenir shops across the street can get expensive.
- Luckily for me, Irish Woman kept me out of the casino after two liters of good German beer. At least I exchanged hard-earned money for a carved wooden bear, instead of just pouring it into a table or machine with blinking lights.
- A sign that building standards were different in the 1900’s is that we stayed on the top floor of a 150 year old hotel this weekend and I didn’t hear the ferocious thunderstorm that came through last night.
- Wild Turkey Rare Breed might have had something to do with that, but I’m going to give credit to the quality of our accommodations.
- That being said, the continual phone calls and text messages from the Louisville emergency service made sure I didn’t miss a thing.
- Note to self – When trying a less expensive local cafe for breakfast, control your facial expressions when you discover that their coffee tastes like iodine and old turnips and their omelets are overcooked in one aspect, undercooked in another, but are still tasteless.
- Stopping at a rural gas station to obtain caffeine means overlooking the hollow glass ‘flowers’ that are next to the vape cartridges at the checkout.
- After the thunderstorm, it started snowing. So, in addition to flooded two-lane highways, we had black ice and freezing slush to make the drive home stimulating.
