Performing “Research” at “The Laboratory” in Bruges

...the couple escorted in was none other than Jeff Lebesch and his wife Kim Jordan, i.e. The Founder of New Belgium Brewing and his wife, the current CEO. I can say with full honesty that I believe New Belgium makes the most overrated beer in Colorado, and since Howard's opinion isn't that much different than mine, we immediately started talking very loudly about how much better Odell Brewing is than New Belgium, how much Fat Tire sucks, and that 90 Shilling is the best beer brewed in Fort Collins, if not Colorado.

How do you conjugate “I Amsterdam?”

This time around, I recognized Amsterdam's individual charm and character, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Europe.

Prague Without Reservations

The touristy spots in the town were packed with tourists from around the world, so we spent a lot of time people watching on the Charles Bridge and relaxing with beers along the Vltava River. When we were joined by Sara and Ryan the following days, we quickly discovered that these activities are universally celebrated by our family and friends no matter where we visited in the city.
