Day 9 The TravelingTinkers

We rose early, had a quick breakfast,


and hopped on the bus to bring us downtown to Broadway, where all the music happens.  We were dropped off at the Country Music Hall of fame and walked one block. Our first stop was to Tootsies,

which was recommended.  There are three floors and a rooftop area. We started on the first floor, which was too crowded, and headed up to the next floor, we were entertained by a young fellow named PJ from Rochester, New York. 

We were his only guests but we enjoyed the music of his set and when he finished we went upstairs to the roof top.  The view and the weather were beautiful, but we couldn't hear the music, so we decided to move on. 


Next we ventured to several, Jason Aldeens, Luke Bryans, and a few others, we skipped Kid Rock's as the music was too loud for us. We spent a little time in each one and were surprised that we were not hassled to purchase drinks in any of them. 







Dave did enjoy a variety of beers as we strolled along. 




It was fun to people watch, lots of eye candy for both of us. 




We finished out the evening with a nice baby back barbeque rib wrap.

It was sad to see so many homeless people under the bridges, and on intersections and just about every corner, but this one guy, was honest about what he wanted money for. 


As night fell, the crowds got larger, the music louder, and the lights brighter. It was a great day. 







 We hopped the bus back to our campground and we were fast asleep once we arrived.

The Traveling Tinkers - Lake Michigan as seen from Lake View Inn and Reseaurant

 Ok I did it!  I ate a Pastie. The food of Michigan.  It was great, not quite on my food plan, but....how can you visit Michigan and not try the food?  We stopped at this lovely small restaurant overlooking the great Lake Michigan.  Great service, great ambiance, and the view was spectacular on this particular sunny day.  The photo of the building with the rocks on the side is just an indication of how they use their large rock surplus in every building they construct.  The Lake View Inn is on the Sister Lakes.

The Traveling Tinkers - Blue Ribbon Diner - Wauseon, Ohio

 After our trip through the Shipshe, Ohio Amish community, we stayed at a Best Western. The next day, due to covid, the complimentary breakfast they offered was not to our liking, so we again were in search of a diner.  We came across this location, there were a few cars outside, and saw this sign.  Ok, so not a real good sign right?  But it seemed so patriotic, and I did see a few motorcycles outside, so figured, it must be good. Once inside, we were amazed at how clean and nice it was, the variety of food on the menu, the friendly waitress, and the food was wonderful!    I would definitely put this on my radar if I were traveling that way again. Wonderful food, great waitress!  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blue-Ribbon-Diner/221121854963717

The Traveling Tinkers - Rosy's Diner - Escanaba, Michigan

 One of the things we enjoy most on our travels is a great breakfast!  We are especially fond of old diners.  After an evening with our Harvest Host Ramblin Rose in Carney, we headed out for breakfast.  As with the town of Carney, there was not much to select from. Eventually we spotted a corner diner in Escanaba.  Rosy's diner.  What happened after that was so delightful. As we parked the car, we could actually smell the cooking bacon, and knew we were in for a treat.  We found out seat at the counter as the cook was busily whippng up a few meals at once. The special of the day was home made corned beef hash and eggs. How could I pass this up?  We settled in and listened to the joyful banter between the cook/owner, her daughter, and her prep cook.  They made us feel welcome and special.  We chatted about the 4 egg omlette and all the other specialties they proudly serve.  We were informed that Rosy's diner was chose as the #2 winne...
