Fond du Lac, WI

Fond du Lac was a glory...nice old town, Eleanor Roosevelt, JFK, Gene Autry and other famous types had all stayed previously in our hotel... this place used to be a hotbed of illegal drinking during the Prohibition era... lots of underground tunnels where it was all hidden...
 
Then we had that excellent North American delight of Premium Outlet shopping... hoping we can get our cases home (well, Mike & I need to be careful; Chris & Richard were more steady!)

A bar by the hotel provided a fine range of not-only-pale-rubbish-US-lager which was nice...

Also, good to see my old music teacher David de Warrenne on Sarah Beany's house-selling show on More4 (from November 13th...)

Easy Cheese

Now surely it is clear that we have no need for any fake cheese - we are brimming over with the stuff!



Despite being offered this in Worthington, MN (where we were looked after royally), we had a splendid evening... having had an excellent afternoon sampling the delights of Ben Lees Coffeebar. It was very, very cold here...tho' the audience were equivalently warm...

Many miles later, we are here in (much more sunny) Fond du Lac, WI...

(See previous blog for much more edifying picture of Steve & Martene's new life...)
