Green Bay, Wisconsin

We made it, finally. After two pretty long days and roughly 950 miles, we’re in Title Town. We found a room on Hotwire.com, paying 40$ per night, and it turns out to be just across the street to fabled Lambeau Field (home of the fabled NFL team Green Bay Packers). Simply amazing!

We had a walk around the impressive stadium and the neighborhood it’s located in. Although we expected Green Bay to be Packers country, it’s pretty overwhelming to see how much they actually support the team. The Lambeau Field stadium (named after the founder) is located on Lombardi Avenue (a former coach), and a block down, just behind the Dun Hutson Gym (a former player), you’ll find Holmgren Street (yet another coach).

If you should be fortunate enough to have the time, go down Holmgren Street to Favre Pass (named after a former quarterback, too). Go down the pass, and you’ll get to Favre’s Steak House. Go in, get a table, sit down - and enjoy!

Kristian ordered a Favre’s Signature Steak, a 20 oz (roughly 600g) specialty with mushrooms and a baked sweet potato the size of Sicily. Jacob got the Rookie Ribeye Steak, basically only a set of horns shy of being a whole cow. But oh! the pleasure! The quality of the meat was overwhelming and drinking an ice cold draught beer after two days in a car was just delightful.

Tomorrow we’re going on a tour of Lambeau Field, The Packers Hall of Fame, and then on a shopping spree in the gift shop!
