WEDNESDAY AUGUST 24
We then drove back to downtown Galena and began the long look to find a parking space somewhere. It is a popular tourist spot, so always a lot of cars (especially on the weekends). Of course, a new problem is that my depth perception has really gotten bad, so parallel parking would not be a good idea. We saw several good parallel parking spaces of course.
I dropped Liz of outside one of our favorite watering holes in Galena, the Gold Room and then spent another ten minutes looking for a spot and finally found one at a good distance from the Gold Room. Walked back and we went inside. Sadly, the place was dead so just had one beer and left.
We were planning to eat at Dirty Gurt's nearby, but they are closed on Wednesdays. Continued walking and found a likely place called Paradise Pub & Grub and stopped in. They had a spaghetti special so I got that and Liz had a pork loin sandwich.
Next stop was at our favorite drinking place in Galena, the VFW which still has their $2 Busch Light pints so thoroughly enjoyed them.
Went back to the Grant Hills Motel and sat outside. Unfortunately, no one else did. so it was just Liz and me. Folks need to know that when you have a motel like that, you should sit outside.
