Sorry, it’s been a busy time and we’ve been off-line for a bit on the blog. Here we go again.
Some of you will recognize the title of this blog. For those who are younger, this was the punchline of an advertising campaign for cassette tapes. OK, you ask what’s a cassette tape? It was like reel-to-reel tape but smaller and self-contained. Scratch that. It was like an 8 track, but not continuous. OK, not that. Um, like a CD, but analog instead of digital.
Oh, never mind!
Suffice it to say that it was a way to record sound, and the claim was that it was so good that you couldn’t tell if it was live music, or recorded on Memorex-brand tape.
Anyway, what does this have to do with Leavenworth or traveling?
When I was in Bavaria in October, I mentioned already that I was really surprised how much it was like Leavenworth, WA. When Leavenworth transformed itself into Little Bavaria, they really did their homework.
So I thought it would be run to play a little game of “Is It Live or Is It Memorex?”
I’m going to put up some pictures from Leavenworth and some from Bavaria and you can try to guess which is which. At the end I’ll tell you what the answers are.

We took some friends from Bavaria to visit Leavenworth in 2000 and she, too, was amazed how much it looked like home. However, she did say that Leavenworth does have architecture from different parts of Bavaria together that you wouldn’t find together over there. I took your quiz here and did miss a couple of them, even though I was in Leavenworth only two days ago. It is indeed a marvelous place to visit and I’m glad that it is as close to my home as it is- only about 130 miles by road.
Your site here looks like fun. I’ll have to do more looking around. Thanks for your visit to my blog post & photos today on our recent trip to Leavenworth.
Found your blog through your Lonely Planet comment on Leavenworth, which I agree with. And what a great photo quiz, thanks! I was in Leavenworth a couple of weeks ago, for the first time, and enjoyed the town. If you’re interested, I took a short video while there, you can see it here: http://gobart.tv/ojxU
