Also, it's "Houses", not "House".

you'd think you would have more photos with you in them.

I have some...but most are with my family and that doesn't need to be critiqued on here.
And I figured most people would rather see the city than me...

Poker Run (often done for charity, but not always) - Pay to ride or get sponsors. Ride your bikes from destination to destination, could be a series of bars, might be churches or old age homes or hospitals. Get a playing card at each stop. End of the ride, best poker hand wins a prize. Could be a bike thing, or cash, might be the use of Method's mom for a week. Just don't break her. You remember last time.

I dunno about cheaper, but it would be more effective and a lot more fun. Do y'all do poker runs in the CR?
I'm in Florida, where it's sunny, a slight breeze is moving the palm leaves around, the air is 80F, the pool's 87F, and the beer (Dunedin Pale Ale, tapped the keg yesterday) is 33F.

wouldnt it be cheaper if i just invited you over here, you stayed at my house, detuned my bikes and we went through Prague sampling beer how it should be drank - on tap?
there are even certain foods than can only be experienced while imbibing.
pickled sausages, headcheese with raw onions, pork knees, fermented camambert, cheese that stinks like old socks, but refreshing with beer, etc.
if you don't beleive in god, you will when you try some of the beer here.
the gods name is radegast, pagan god of harvest and beer.
or
i'll find out how to ship a case o beer to the states. question is, what state?

it doesnt, its brewed in Poland for export. not as good and too many conservatives for a shelf life min. 6 months makes it a little too bitter.
mustang. poop. you can't drive with your wheels inside out on a mustang.

OK, tell ya what: Box me up some real-deal Pilsener Urquell and I'll trade you for some real-deal 'Merican booze (you just tell me what you want). I've got a few Kentucky and Tennessee Bourbons I'd recommend.

Pilsener Urquell is good beer too, although I am not 100% sure that what I buy in the US under that label comes from your area. That said; I've seen your car. If that's a Ferrari I'll take my Ford Mustang every time

What Davros said about Tower Bridge. Looks like you hit most of the typical tourist sites...did you go to the top of St. Peter's Basilica? Awesome view from there.

Glad you had fun, but I feel I should point out that the first picture is "Tower Bridge" not "london Bridge".
Carry on.

I've never been to the Globe. I feel like I should, living so close. Mind you, I've never been to Big Ben/Parliament/Millennium Wheel/anything else of any touristy relevance either. Went to the Natural History museum once though; found it quite educational I suppose.
Point deducted for Tower/London Bridge faux pas. Sorry.

Sorry Bob, but naming Tower Bridge as London Bridge is auto -2, but you get a point for the disabled viewing (a little known, yet popular London attraction).

'Trafalgar' spelled backwards is 'Raglafart'. True story. I have a friend from Trafalgar, Indiana, and he told me so. Who would know better?
I would like to go to England. I quite like the beers I've had from there, so it must be a good place. Good beer cannot come from a bad place
