MAY8(TUE) City:Pilzen, Venue:ACW

This was a country bar without a square dance floor. There’s a sign that says soldiers only on the outside and on route we noticed a lot of American flags. The USA liberated Pilsen in the first week of May 1945 so there was loads of US Army memorabilia everywhere in the city-especially this week!. Army pants here are worn by at least half of the population it seems! During our performance the girl behind the bar was practicing her gun slinging! There was a historic mini museum under the bar (in the cellar!)with all sorts of war memorabilia as well. The cellar is attached to the 5ft 7inches tall and three feet wide underground sandstone dug tunnels (we took a tour earlier in the day) which run in TWO layers under the entire city of Pilsen. People tied their cellars together and this created the tunnels, then the 2nd layer was created for the businesses. OH! Everybody used to be able to make their own beer but the quality began to suffer, beer makers then came together to create Pilsner - a HUGE export to the entire world. Thank you ACW! I was gifted a gorgeous clay wine jug!
