Spotting the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile

Sitting in an auto dealers waiting room isn’t really good for anything except wasting time. But on Saturday, through serendipity I heard on the television that the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was going to be in Orlando. Now, with 3,000 more miles to go before I needed to sit in that dreaded, shredded, paddingless chair, I charted a course to one of America’s most beloved icons.

Where is the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile?

That’s the question I’ve asked myself many times. Along with the hamburger, I’d say the Oscar Mayer hot dog is America’s culinary gift to the world. Since 1936 this 65mph hot dog has traveled America’s highways and byways. If you’re lucky, perhaps you’ll pass it driving along the road.

It’s nice to be surprised. Such was the case in Baton Rouge last week. I had a few hours of free time after lunch and wandered throughout downtown. Just for the fun of it, my travel partner and I decided to wander into the Capitol Building. We were glad we did. Today’s post features a photo tour of the history we discovered…

Our first stop was the Senate Chamber. With the doors wide open we were able to take a peak inside.

The Sargent at Arms even showed us an explosive piece of history, literally.

Victoria Falls: Zimbabwe Side

Worth the Trip to Zimbabwe

The additional $30 Visa into Zimbabwe and the $30 Park Entrance Fee to see the falls in Zim may be enough to scare you away from spending the cash to see more of water falling down a cliff. But it would be a mistake not to. You’ve made it this far into Africa, so donate those dollars to Mugabe and tick this adventure off your adventure list. Otherwise, you’ll regret not having done so when you return home. Here’s what you can look forward to in this YouTube video.

A Dream Come True

Let me start off by saying this trip to Victoria Falls was the realization of a lifelong dream. Over the course of six trips to South Africa for 4 years, I’ve been trying to reach this incredible natural wonder. I knew that my most recent trip to South Africa would be my last for a long time, so no matter the cost I was determined to add a trip to Victoria Falls – and I did.
