Just a short post. Pete has been following in Art’s tradition of being kind to his and he’s stopping to rest at all of the little cafes in the different regions. This is, of course, so that I can have a rest. And why not use the opportunity to sample a bit of the local grog!
We’ve had Belgium ales and beers brewed by the Trappist monks; darks, whites and lights and even a pink one! (not too fine, that one … tasted like beer with raspberry syrup in it … but it had to be done)
Pete has a fine collection of beer glasses to bring home as he insists on a sample of the stemware as well as the contents. We’ll have to have you all over for beer just so that he can show them all off! I believe that we’re going to have to mail the glasses home, as we simply don’t have room in our suitcase for all of them. Ad has kindly offered to help us get them there safely. He was talking something about a container ship leaving next month …
Pete . . . . come on this is my job. I'm in charge of world wide beer tasting.
ReplyDeleteI notice you didn't mention wine. I hope you managed to sample some of the great Spanish wine.
