Surprise post from Germany!!!

Posted on 22:49 by Unknown
It's been a little rough waking up today. Something about drinking with South African battery salesmen at Munich's Hofbrauhaus yesterday afternoon. AFTERNOON. Whew, schnapps too? Stop buying me liters of beer! LITERS. Yikes....

Anyhoo, just a quick note one week into our adventures to say we are doing fine. Wearing out the soles of our shoes on all the cobblestones. And to keep warm, Kimberly had to buy a warmer coat and Chris bought a green felt hat with a feather in it. Ja. Das is gut.

Chris sent a teaser email to some of his beery friends bragging about some of his acquisitions in Belgium. Brugge specifically. Remember this post from November 2007? http://thehouseofgordon.blogspot.com/2007/11/best-beer-in-world.html

Well, it seems the "gray market" of retail sales is alive and well in Belgium as it was in the U.S. Observe:


The best beer in the world, encased in protective sleeves to keep them comfortable during transport back to Greensboro. Score.

It's 7:58am now, 1:58am back home, so it's time to shower and catch the train down to Mad King Ludwig's castles today.

Prost!
