Revisiting An Old Friend

We are in Appleton, WI, where there is a bar next to a bar next to a bar - oh, and the occasional coffee shop - living the dream!
So far, I’m definitely enjoying these few Golden Days[1].
Upon arrival from Boise, I took some of the guys in the band to a joint called The Bar for great local Wisconsin beer, cheese curds, and a pretty fantastic Oktoberfest menu!
I had the bratwurst sandwich on a pretzel bun with sweet potato fries – I’m sort of a sucker for sweet potato fries – it was pretty delicious.
Aside from the Oktoberfest menu, The Bar had a pretty standard Sports Bar menu.
The gang hanging out after a long travel day.

The coffee joints also do not disappoint. 
I’ve been going to a place called Copper Rock.
 They are friendly and pour a good cup, but the last time I was in Appleton
I went to a place called Acocoa Coffee.  They have about ten varieties of fair trade organic whole bean coffees that they grind and brew to order; possibly my most favorite coffee in the country.  
You can bet you’ll find me there a lot this trip.

One of the many cups of coffee I'll be consuming here.
