I like my Guinness Coooollllddd!

I went to this local watering hole of my Uncle and Aunt's last night. I think it is called John's Place? Anyway, I was excited cause I found out they serve Guinness on tap along with a few other nice lagers and bitters. I wanted to check this out as Ryan and I were both curious to see if he could really find America's British heart. Turns out, Americans love the British. I mean we took their language and improved it, we then took their food and improved it and now we have taken their idea of the "Pub" and made it a bit more "chic".

I am not saying the idea of a pub isn't nice. I love English pubs. We just like to take the idea and make it American...like we do with everything. I am definitely not in denial of this.

So they serve up this Guinness and man was it freezing. In England they serve beer room temperature. In America we like our drinks cold...really cold. It was so yummy. We do this because in the summer its too damn hot to have a warm beer....and its hot here most of the year.

So last night out turned out to be a lot of fun...even if I felt like I am slowly aging into oblivion. I am really loving being here.

And now Ryan has promised a web chat this weekend....which makes me smile. Hopefully he will book that flight to visit soon.
