Took the Chevy to to the Levi...the Good Old Boys Were Drinking Whiskey and Rye





This weekend BF and I went to Bockfest in Cincinnati. It is a beer festival and with it, we toured the Over the Rhine District, the German area of town. We toured old breweries, many of which still have the parts and smells from the breweries. Others are used as storage, been changed into apartments or are partially hidden underground. The picture above shows debris in one of the old breweries, as well as the mascot of Bockfest, the goat. We sampled some good beer and had fun seeing the city. We also went to the Newport Levi, right across the river. We went behind the scenes at the Newport aquarium. We saw tons of fish and sharks and penguins. We even saw this "Harry Otter." That aquarium sure has a sense of humer- first Harry Otter, and then this great sign in the cafeteria. It was good times, which was great, because the weekend was BF's birthday present. We even had some great laughs when the people next door proved what a good time they were having- maybe they were celebrating a special occasional as well, because it sure sounded that way to us.
