Motorworld Stuttgart

Like a giant Matchbox display box, these high horsepower toys are on display at Motorworld
The Motown of Germany is Stuttgart, Baden-Wuttenberg in the south west of Germany. It is the capital of the state of Baden-Wuttenberg and the 6th largest city in all of Germany. It is an industrial city that surprises many by the amount of green space and parks it maintains within its borders.
Vikram, Gregor, and StringGirl get acquainted 
A visit to the "cradle of the Automobile" would not be complete without a visit to Motorworld to look at its collection of high value and historic automobiles.

Nice rides are parked inside and out

Just a row of Lamborghini, nothing to see here.... 
It started its life as the airfield for the King of Wuttenberg, and then later the State Airport where it housed airmail planes, zepplins, and production of early passenger aircraft made by Leichtflugzeugbau  Klemm.
New colleagues at with IC.IDO and Immersive Environment at ESI got an eyefull at Motorworld

Here on the second level more cars packed into translucent boxes

Dining area on the second tier available for rent and high end catering

Usually only seen at Concourse d'Elegance these beauties dazzle

A bit more affordable, a Fiat 500 Abarth (the original)

StringGirl looks forward to a ride in this Cabrio

A Porsche Diesel certain to be unaffected by Dieselgate

Brewery Tour by Canoe: Boardman Lake, Traverse City, MI

 Boardman Lake is smack-dab downtown in Traverse City, MI. Easily accessible from the lake are three, maybe even four breweries. Local kayak liveries have scheduled tours to kayak and bike to several local breweries and taprooms. So on this August Sunday, StringGrrl and I decided that we should make the tour ourselves.  Coffee first! It would be irresponsible to embark on day drinking un-caffeinated Boardman Lake Trail Bridge and entry to the River There is a free public launch in Hull Park, just behind the Traverse Area Public Library. Parking adequate for up to 5 cars and up to 5 trucks with trailers, right near the launch and more parking elsewhere in the park made for an easy launch that morning. We paddled our way into the river first to have a coffee while drifting through town. Ideally, one should be able to portage the canoe past the dam and connect directly into Grand Traverse Bay, but construction near the dam made that portage just inconvenient enough that StringGrr...

Kyushu izakaya with Keysight (ESI) team in Shinjuku

Kyushu Netchuya, Shinjuku in the Nomura Building  The team in Shinjuku Tokyo, in Japanese custom, very hospitably invited StringGrrl out for an Authentic Kyushu izakaya experience. We walked from the office to a nearby shopping area to visit the restaurants in the lower levels (Why can't we have such nice things in the USA?). Izakaya are casual Japanese pubs or taverns that serve drinks and a variety of small plates, similar to experiences with Tapas in Spain, the work teams will leave the office for a drink and meal of several tastes before embarking on sometimes long commutes home. Kyushu Island is home to Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Oita, Saga, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, and Okinawa prefectures. It is the 3rd largest of the Japanese Islands and is the southernmost of the larger Japanese "mainland".  Credited with being the "Birthplace of Ramen", where Tonkotsu Ramen was innovated as a novel new dish using Chinese Noodles in a Creamy Pork Bone broth. Hakata Gyoza,...
