Day 147
Cork and Neon
August 20th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Man, that took a whole lotta wine drinkin to make..
That’s what I was thinking. Maybe they keep adding corks as they empty bottles?!
I have a poland springs bottle (one of those office water cooler ones) filled to the top with wine we have drank. Now I know what to do with them…Make curtains for the kitchen. Owe ya one Matt…..Pizza and beer are on me!!
lush….Wine corks are in the bottle not wine…dahhhh….Flagged!!!!
I’m glad you clarified that Jeff you had me confused there. I thought WOW that’s a whole lotta wine but why did you put it in one of those water jugs?!?
Well, it’s Greek to me…
I was waiting for that!! ;)
LOL !!
Funny you should mention that, in more than one way. See this from my last post:

Mmmmmmm! Greek food!! I’m not sure where this place is, but I think I need to go exploring in Downtown Portland to find out. :) Being the Greek girl that I am, I need to test all Greek food to be sure it’s up to snuff…or at least close to how my Mom or Yiayia (Grandma in Greek) make it. Otherwise, I cannot say it’s “authentic”. :)
It’s the Alexis on 215 W Burnside, a couple blocks east of the Chinese gate.
I’ve heard a lot about this place….maybe someday when I venture into Portland (which I try to avoid pretty much), I will have to check it out. Thanks for the info Scot!! :)
That looks pretty cool.
I guess they took someone literally when they were told to ‘put a cork in it’!
LOL !! that’s funny charlie.
My cat loves playing with corks… she would be in heaven with a curtain of them!
I thought at first this was a Portuguese restaurant considering that half of the world’s output of commercial cork is from Portugal .. http://www.uwec.edu/geography/ivogeler/travel/portugal/cork-article2.htm
Cork comes from an oak! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_suber
Now we see much more synthetic cork and plastic composite corks. Even nicer wines are screw caps now. Trees have more important things to do than be our bottle stoppers. And besides…once I open a bottle of wine, the cork is no longer needed! Ba ha ha ha!!!
