I took this on one of our trips around the island of Put in Bay this last weekend. I loved the clear skies and the fluffy clouds
We went to the Round House to see Mike "Mad Dog" Adams. He was great. I had a headache and he caught me rubbing my head. After that the Cincy jokes were a flyin'. We snuck out of there around 5pm and went back to our B & B. Some people were drunk when they came in the door at 1 pm. Just Crazy. Kind of brought back memories of Mardi Gras but what do I remember I was only 18.. So so many years ago. 
Later that night the Round House was turned into a funeral parlor for "The Wake" It is the celebration, remembrance of the summer before, a final goodbye and closing of the island. 
So G and I did as others did we drank from the bucket. We both just stared at it like oh my.. but when it was empty we stared even harder. G thinks it was half full of foam.. Whatever..we did it!!!! We brought the bucket home. I don't know why but someone then asked if we wore it on our heads.. hmmm? We did see highly intoxicated subjects wearing buckets but thought it was just a drunk thang.. I guess it's honor to wear it. We missed that part. Maybe next time.
Then there was this nice gal.. weirdo, psycho, creepy, just darn right strange. I think if the Websters would have played "People are strange" everyone in the bar would have pointed to them. They told us they take her "Crystal" everywhere with them. Oh, that's nice.. kind of like a traveling gnome but on the dark, creepy side. Her husband started talking in a weird voice telling everyone "down in front, I can't see" meaning Crystal.
We had enough of the Websters so we made our way back down to the Beer Barrel to see our boys one more time. Their show was free but I bet next time there will be a cover. They play on CMT and everything. I am not in to country music but they are great and play a little bit of everything. OH,, did I say they can DANCE!!!!
This is Preston up top and Chris down below. They RAWK!!! LoCASh Cowboys!!!
That was the end of our night. We went home and the next morning headed home to reality. It was a great trip and we really needed to get away for a few days and it was just enough. Actually it was a bit long, with the cold, not much to do and then nothing to but drink... it was a great time, we both enjoyed ourselves.G was in charge of the camera while I drove.. yeeehawww... 
Now that's a boat garage.
Downtown was getting busy. 
We cruised the island one more time and then took a quick nap before our big night. There just wasn't much to do beside drive around and take pictures. We found ourselves rushing and then saying we need to slow down and sit for awhile cause there was really no where to go. There was no strip mall, no fast food, no movie cinemas. I wanted to hang out in the parks but it was just too cold and windy. Late late spring like May would be awesome.
We drove to the other side of the big island and found Perry's Cave. At least one of the kids would think this was neat with all the Geodes.
You buy a Geode and they cut it front of you. Of course they aren't fancy and colorful like the ones in the gift shop and then I found they are shipped in from New Mexico. What? Anyways, it's something different to do.
We stopped at the Brewery for dinner. It wasn't good at all. We won't go back there. Tippers Bar turned out to have the best food. At this time of year it was so limited. 
We met this couple, Gary and Dawn. They are from Michigan and have 14 year old triplets at home. We hung out, skipped the bars with them and took them a ride on our golf cart. 4 old folks cruising the bars?? We really had a blast but we can't and won't make this a every weekend thing. Once or twice a year is good enough for us.
We left Tippers and went to the Round House to watch the Websters from Cincy. They play new bands and some old 80's alternative like the Violent Femmes, OMD, The Cure.. Awesome. G didn't enjoy it that much but us girls were having a good time. 
After they were done we went next door to Mr. Eds and they just had a DJ. We decided that we had had enough for one night and drove our little golf cart home to our fancy (not really)B & B. There isn't much to do on the island, when you ask people what you should do at NIGHT, their reply is "Get Drunk" hmmm.. That just don't fit into G and I's nightly schedule. Come on we had our time to drink when we were young, who wants to get drunk every night?
You walk up about 21 steps to the elevator and then you get a open 360 degree view of the island and Canada. The air was so crisp and clear. It would be worth spending some time up here if it wasn't so cold. I actually think it was colder than the Empire State Building in December. Maybe not.

A winery
Back downstairs.
Let me say my horizon was off in most of the photos. It was very windy and very cold, I just walked around and clicked. I also have a piece of lint or something in my camera so on some shots you can see it. I haven't had time to have it repaired.
This is Pasquali's Italian resturant. I had the Monte Cristo, it wasn't real good, I would try the calzone next time. This is where G did a U-turn and ran over the curb.. I laughed and then later I did it too. Give two people from the South (that's what they called us) a golf cart and all hell breaks loose.
Stayed tuned for high rise photos from the top of Perry's monument. We took a few..a few hundred or so.
