Silly Dutch… Yummy Herring

Today’s lunch… broodje haring met uitjes en zuur… also known as a bread roll with raw herring, onions and pickle.

raw herring sandwich

At the suggestion of my fiance, I tried this Dutch delicacy.

In some places it was a bit slimy, but other than that… quite tasty.

Maker’s Mark Distillery

We visited Maker’s Mark Distillery yesterday in Loretto, Kentucky. Here are a few pics…

On a side note, I love my technology when it works, but it seems that my Pixelpipe app is not working properly on my G1. Fuckers!

Dreaming of Mold

Anyone reading that headline (except MY MAN), must be thinking that I am pretty fucked up to be dreaming about mold.

Well… I’m not dreaming about mold… but of Mold… a town in Flintshire, North Wales.

No… I’ve never been there… but now Mold is the goal… a simple life in a small town with MY MAN… a place that will allow us to build a life together.

Early Closing Time

After spending too much time in mom’s bar yesterday and drinking WAY too much, I have decided to stay upstairs tonight.

I tried to stay and chat with the locals, but I find it difficult to be around drunk people if I am not drinking.

They are still getting the place going, but it is coming along nicely. Here’s a pic of the bar…

Travel Flashback: Alaskan Cruise

A new friend of mine said (via text)…

I was looking at all ur pics last night and wow you have done some traveling!

You know… he’s right. But… I am so forgetful, I find it difficult to name the places I have been to.

So… I thought I would chronicle all of my future and past travels here. Maybe then I’ll remember.

Who? Me and B

What? an Alaskan cruise

When? Spring 2004

Where? Alaska, including Haines, Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway

Why? Fun, of course

How? via a Holland America Line on the Veendam

I didn’t know what to expect with this cruise. It was my second one; the first was the Carribean.

WOW! Alaska was BEAUTUIFUL!

The cruise was Holland America’s “Glacier Discovery Cruise” and that we did.

In fact one of the highlights was in Juneau, where we boarded a helicopter and flew to the top of Mendenhall Glacier.

Plus… there is no way I could forget the “hussy” (prostitution history) in Skagway, eating hot pea soup (my first bowl) on the deck of the ship, kayaking to find colorful starfish or the amazing views from the ship.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

I made changes to the BF’s travel itinerary today.airplane toy

He is now leaving the morning of May 6… spending a couple of days with his best friend in New Paltz, New York… then its back to Amsterdam.

I am not quite sure what the next three weeks has in store for us… or our time together beyond that. Time will tell, I guess.

On a lighter note… I also booked myself a ticket to visit mom in Melbourne, Kentucky over Memorial Day Weekend.

Itching To Travel

The ex and I traveled quite a bit. Since then, I have only made trips to Amsterdam to visit the BF.

I am ready to go. Still, I think I want to explore the world on my own a bit.
