The Jellystone Campgrounds Mammoth Cave Kentucky
The Sahara Restaurant Cave City, Kentucky
My husband and I went to Kentucky just for weekend fun and visited their longest cave in the world is called the “Mammoth Cave.” On Saturday afternoon, I was getting hungry and I asked my husband that we should eat somewhere and he agreed, so we did find this “Sahara Steak House.” I can say, the restaurant is popular as it seems the only game in town, there was a Mexican restaurant but we prefer to eat somewhere since about couple days ago we had Mexican food. When we get in the “Sahara Restaurant” it was just kind of few people but then before we left it was getting full. We ate there about 6:30 and the server that we had was very friendly, their menu prices are inexpensive and imagine their steak comes with soup and salad just about $14. I ordered for myself steamed veggies, fried mushrooms and potato with sour cream and butter. It was a good dining experienced in “Sahara Restaurant” and once we will go there in Kentucky, we will eat there again. I recommend their restaurant as their service is great and their food are excellent!

Unique Beautiful Fountains in Bern, Switzerland
1st picture-Justice Fountain-The image of the fountain represents the traditional iconography for justice: a woman with blinded eyes, a sword and a balance. It is a work by Hans Geing and dates back from XVIth century.
2nd picture- Ogre Fountain(Chindlifresserbrunnen) -The fountain can be found in Kornhausplatz, Bern and it depicts the figure of an Ogre eating a child, with other children around him.
