Tonight’s our last night in Prague.  Just got back from the world famous Pivovarský Klub, which claims to have the “largest beer menu in our country.”  Over 200 beers in bottle and six on draft–pretty awesome.

U Fleků: the only brewery in Central Europe that’s been brewing consecutively for 500 years.  (Plus, they make a damn good Goulash).

Just arrived in Verona.  Kat ran out to buy a couple of beers.  Look closely: “Analcolica”.  Way to go, Kat!  A couple of non-alcoholic beers.  Yippee!

We’ve sung Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again” ten times more than the average Willie fan can muster in a 3-week period. It’s been an interesting transition being away from home this long.  As each day is so dense, a week ends up feeling like a month.  Learning traffic signs in the moment while zipping […]
