2020-03-04_13.27.36_OuthousesInJungleJims.jpg
The only disappointment at Jungle Jim's was porta-potties instead of real rest rooms.

2020-03-04_13.27.49_NotReallyOuthouses.jpg
Surprise!  Fake porta-potties are vestibules to real bathrooms.

2020-03-04_13.27.55_ActuallyQuiteLuxuriousRestRooms.jpg
Pretty luxurious actually.  Really nice tile and fixtures.  Couldn't get Penny to walk in and take pictures for me though.  Probably all for the best.  She might have gotten arrested, walking into the men's room with a camera!

Adult oriented hot sauces.  Camera took a fuzzy picture.  The only time all day that happened.  Or are parts blurred out to keep this G-rated?

2020-03-04_13.54.49_PittsburghSucksHotSauce.jpg
Everywhere you go, there are local rivalries.  Cincinnati has "Pittsburgh Sucks" hot sauce.  In Philly, they'd be blasting Camden or all of NJ.  In Pleasant Ridge, we called Norwood "the armpit of the nation".  In Haverford, that was Narberth.

With 5 aisles of hot sauce, you have to organize them alphabetically

Picked up some chocolate milk stout for Thor on sale.  Hmmm...  None in the picture.  Did I grab the last 6-pack?

2020-03-04_14.17.20_CheeseWing.jpg
The cheese wing was huge, and I hear, very interesting.  All kinds of cheese from various countries.  And carved into lots of fancy shapes.  But Cincinnati's world-famous Skyline Chili was calling.  Their chili dogs might be better than even the VI (Vienna Inn) in Virginia!

2020-03-04_14.20.08_HumanOrganCooler.jpg
I was tempted, but didn't buy a cooler labeled "Human Organ for Transplant".  Next time!...
