Well, the title isn't completely accurate. We did have the sun for 1 and 1/2 days, but the rest of our stay here has been rainy or snowy. It's not even Halloween yet!
But, I've managed to get a taste of the town. I think the most unique place so far has been an old dining car called Mickey's. It's been in business for over 70 years and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In fact, it's on the National Register of Historic Places. My girlfriend and I had breakfast there one rainy Minnesota morning: blueberry buttermilk pancakes for her and a Denver omelette with hashbrowns for me. WOW! It was so good that our stomachs ached afterwards. Good thing I took waited a half an hour before going to the gym :) If you are ever in town, you should definitely check this place out. Sit at the bar so you can watch the guy cook everything on the griddle and multi-task like a banshee (amazing) and watch the middle aged waitress look busy no matter what she's doing. For all you actors, this is a great place to character study!
I'm looking forward to our next stop: Nashville, TN. I have a lot of family in that area, and it looks like I'll get to see a pile of them!
Good morning!
ReplyDelete"blueberry buttermilk pancakes" - I must immediately think of you, Kristen. ;)
This would be the perfect breakfast for you or not?
She swarms every time from the best blueberry pancakes of the world! But these don't give in St. Paul but in Cologne. ;P
Such an old, historical dining car is impulsant very much. You see it and you feel directly the life and the stories which take place and have taken place in this car. Wonderful! :)
Something like that connects young and oldly and represents a place of stopping off and welfare feeling.
I wish you a beautiful weekend and a wonderful time in Nashville. I hope that many members of your family can come to be able to do and to support you.

Hey Kevin :)
ReplyDeletegreat you are going well :)
First when I saw the picture of the dining car I felt a little bit nostalgic *g* I love this style.
Yes, as Kirsten has already said, there are lot´s of birthdays at the moment going around.
I was happy to see the Tarzan Birthday show,already with the new cast- and I am very proud of the autograph from Phil Collins... :D :D
So, time goes by...
I am happy to read from you :)
Take care,
Franka
Right Julia, my perfect breakfast includes blueberry pancakes and I love the ones in Cologne but I woundn´t mind trying the ones at Mickey´s!:P
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of the dining car, the car surely has a lot of stories to tell after 70 years. ;)
It´s nice that your girlfriend can be with you, Kevin and I hope many members of your family can make it to see the show and YOU!
My smallest family member, Finn Krister, is lying in bed with a concussion. He fell off a hammock.........:(
You mentioned Halloween in your Blog, do you have any plans for the day or is it just a thing for kids?
Enjoy Nashville!

Kevin, I start blissfully in the day.
ReplyDeleteI found just the video of you and Krysta Rodriguez. "In the movies" - what a wonderful song!? And much more meaningfully for this song - two so embellishes voices!!! It is so beautiful - I am without words!
I hope so much at this moment to be able to hear you live once again some time.
On this way much greetings to you,
Julia
HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!
ReplyDeleteAlthough it´s an american Tradition it becomes more and more popular in Germany and I had many ghosts, witches and pumpkins asking for trick or tread at my door tonight. :)
I had some gluehwein with some friends outside and we had a firebasket with fire for keeping us warm!
It was a really nice evening, though we had toothpaste at our door when we came back....:(
How was your Halloween, Kevin?
Many greetings from a cold but sunny Hamburg,
Kirsten*
P.S. It´s only 55 days until christmas......:)
Gluwien....on halloween? I thought that was a Christmas tradition! Hey, it's great, so drink it whenever you can :) Halloween was fun. I carved a pumpkin with my girl. I'll see if I can put a picture up. Almost done with Nashville.....so fast!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!!! mwaaaa HHAAA HHAAAAA HHAAAAA!
Gluehwein is a drink for every occasion outside when it gets cold! ;) So you can even drink it on Halloween to keep warm from the inside! haha
ReplyDeleteBut you´re right, originally it´s a x-mas tradition.
The problem is x-mas time isn´t long enough to drink this delicious drink, so you have to start early! ;))
I´d love to see the pumpkin picture!
Hugs, Kirsten* (hicks)
Well, I must have drunk too much gluehwein, because it has taken me way too long to post another update. Expect one tonight!....I hope :)
