Los Angeles




There are but a few things in Los Angeles that are worth the trip for. I have listed them above. From top: Funnel Mill Rare Coffee, Diddy Riese CookieSunnin Lebanese Cafe, and Chili My Soul. Take a weekend. Go, have some food in L.A. Then get out of there while you still can.

Prague


The beer. Oh, the beer. I wanted to post more, but this picture sums that trip up nicely. Actually, the beer pictured was only good, whereas the dark ales and some of the lagers we had were just heavenly. All the same, when I go back to Prague (as I know I will some day) I will go for the beer.

London Goodness

I've been waiting a long time to post a review of my trip to Prague and London, and I've decided that the one thing that stands out in my mind is actually the meal I had before. I went to London last year for Thanksgiving and did a search online for the best coffee in London. One place consistently came up - flat white. So I went once to try it out and ended up going everyday I was in the city for the rest of the trip. I told the gentleman behind the counter when I was there that first day that I would be there everyday after. On or about the fourth day he said, "You weren't lying, were you?" No, I always keep my word. 

So when I was back in London for a day on my way out from a week in Prague, I insisted that my travelling companion come with me for a flat white. We had the coffee in the papercup (because it tastes different in the glass) with their halumi bagel. It was exactly like I remembered it.
