Off to Galena, Illinois

There is a pizza place in Sabula, Iowa known as Bombfire Pizza that we were heading for lunch, but it happen to be closed on the Holiday.  Gotta check this place out some day real soon.  Very interesting!

We drove up to Galena, Illinois on a Holiday Monday by way of Sabula, Iowa and Savanna, Illinois.  Went by Frank Fritz Finds one of the Pickers in Savanna.  His place is in an old opra house.  Lots of stuff to pour through at this place.

We had a good walk up and down the shopping district in Galena, Illinois.  Lots of classic cars and polished motorcycles.  The place was busy.  We founds antiques and collectables for our home and yard.  Had supper at  the Market House Restaurant and Tavern.  Its upstairs from the street, but we suggest entering from the side from the alley for that old town feeling.  Small scale establishment including vegitarian menu items.

Still Enjoying Cedar Falls, Iowa Again

We were up in Cedar Falls, Iowa visiting the children again and tried a couple of new local eateries and some good ice cream from town.  First we enjoyed the Artapalooza downtown Cedar Falls.  There were many vendors with pottery, paintings, beads, jewelery, and the like.



We have a great evening meal from the Brown Bottle along the Cedar River.  The four us had sprimp fettuccine, crusted salmon, lemon chicken, and beef manicotti dishes.  A good feed was had by all.

 

Goat cheese and gin to start with, then salmon and shrimp
for the main coures.  Yum yum.

Lunches were at Toads Bar and Grill and Soho Suchi Bar and Deli, both downtown.  There was something for everyone at Soho.  Its a deli, tapas menu, and sushi bar.  Almost confusing, but we did a combination of tapas dishes and deli sandwiches.  Very tasty. 

 

Fun at Toads Bar and Grill.

We topped it all off with some delicious ice cream from 4 Queens Dairy Cream.  Next time in Cedar Falls, check out these stops.



Happy Trails,  ...Mike & Melody
