The Great River Road in Wisconsin is one of the most scenic portions of the entire trip down the Great River Road. Wisconsin’s portion of this great American road trip down the Mississippi River is chock full of great history, beautiful views, and fantastic food! While not necessarily as long as other portions of the trip, it is perfect for a weekend trip. So let’s make the most of those couple of days with an excellent guide to the Great River Road in Wisconsin!

A trip that didn’t really feel like it, idk how to explain when the place you are going is part of your culture… or, heritage. Seven days in Ireland in April this year. It’s been five years since my dad passed. People who understand me best also seem to have an affinity here. It was a retirement gift for my mom, she especially loves the music. Dublin, Cork, Kerry, and Clare; and no stray turns.

Now that I am home from it all, the shamrocks are starting to blossom on the windowsill. I wonder if they can grow outside of our door, for now, or possibly forever, in Florida. Not to be cliche, but it’s a wonder to see the green blossom in full in Ireland. And, the in-and-out of people when the rain breaks.

To be honest, we had luck with the weather. It only rained once, so I have yet to experience a day-long planned-outing in the rain. On our rainy day we stayed in at Temple Gate. The bar/pub was warm, and I had some hesitation to be busy when there was an anticipation of a goodbye coming the next day. A part of me wish I had done some writing by the window looking out to the town square once we were in for the day. Rainy scene and all. But also, doing nothing at all, and just being, is also a nice way to say goodbye and close out a week. And, of course, I had to carry back some-what of a stack of memorabilia from along the way. Such as,

things that are green

sports polo

brochures of places visited

stained glass home decor trinkets

and, a random local-artisan-good.

Truly, I can say that I didn’t come home decked out in a silver claddagh ensemble. Whether you believe me or not is up to you. But… of course, I has to tag along another chain for the road before I said goodbye.

If I traveled to Italy and entered a genuine pizzeria, sat myself down, unzipped my purse and pulled out a bottle of Hidden Valley ranch, do you suppose the Italians would swarm for the kill immediately or would they outsource it to the Italian mafia

"Acoma Pueblo is built atop a sheer-walled, 367-foot sandstone bluff in a valley studded with sacred, towering monoliths. Since 1150 A.D., Acoma Sky City has earned the reputation as the oldest continuously inhabited community in North America.

Time Travel Question 52: Medievalish and Earlier

These Questions are the result of suggestions a the previous iteration. This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had.

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

We already did the burnings which lost their bracket, but the culture lasted a long time across a big area, and people keep suggesting it.
