We'll be in and around Green Bay, Wisconsin for a while to attend the reunion of the sailors who served on the USS Harry E Hubbard (DD-748). On day one, we went by bus to Door County where our first stop was the
Eagle Bluff Lighthouse where we toured the lighthouse (nice because it didn't take too many steps to reach the top). This place even had what they claimed to be the original "brick sh*thouse" on the property.
From there, we were taken to the Old Post Office Restaurant in Ephriam, WI to experience a
Fish Boil - a local delicacy. "What is a fish boil?" you may ask. Well, they sat us outside around a large cauldron full of boiling water above a roaring wood fire. Then, they placed a large container full of potatoes into the water. Next came a smaller container of locally caught whitefish on top of the potatoes. Then one full of whole onions. They all boiled for a while, then the cook tossed kerosene onto the fire, causing the water to erupt into a large ball of steam. They then removed the food and moved us inside to enjoy the delicious meal we just saw being cooked. Quite an interesting experience...and good, too!
