Milwaukee Germanfeast

I have spent 3 days at this Germanfeast. It's an exciting time. I loved the music and seeing all the beautiful costumes. I did get to eat snitzel, dumpling and red cabbage, a brat with sauerkrat. I'm not a beer drinker so didn't indulge but there were a lot that did.Leslie bought a pig's head and had us try that but after having all those wild boar in my Fl.backyard I could only have a taste.The 10,000 Maniacs from Jamestown were there Sunday night. Mike and I sat right up front. They have been a band for 30 years and from our hometown but I have never heard them until now. I really liked them and the singer Mary Ramsey from Buffalo is a delight. I held up a sign saying Jamestown NY and she acknowledged it. There were several stages with many bands and we just couldn't hear them all.
I left Milwaukee Monday at noon. They wanted people to give up their seats as the flight was overbooked.I checked it out but would have to have an extra stop so declined. Ron & Laura were picking me up at the Erie airport and I didn't want to delay them. We did go to the Casino on the way home and I played my favorite machine. I hit and it wouldn't stop dinging until it got to $171. I played a little more and ended up taking quite a bit with me. I guess that made up for not giving up my seat for a free airplane ride.
There are a few more things to look forward to before my return south.Time is going by too fast.
