I'm so tempted to buy the wonderful foods I see in street markets. But being a tourist with nowhere to store and cook I regret I must pass. Much of the fruit and veg I have never seen before and I'm eager to try. Which is true I suppose for most folks in England. If we don't recognise a sweet potato - then we don't buy it. I do miss the vanilla flavoured Apples ( Custard Apples ) I had in Australia.

Samantha shares some of the interesting sights and sounds she experienced on her recent trip to the French Quarter in New Orleans.

Here's a second helping of Samantha's discovery of great free things to do in St. Louis.

Gumbo was visiting Halifax's historic brewery, founded by Alexander Keith in 1820. It is one of the oldest surviving commercial breweries in North America.

Themed hotels are big and the latest in development is a 'brewery hotel ' in Escondido, California.

Holiday lights are a tradition in many places. Here, Samantha takes us to see one of her favorite displays.

Custom ales are commonly served aboard ships, but Carnival is creating the world's first floating brewery aboard its newest ship, the VISTA.

Samantha and her husband had a great time at the Pearl Brewery Farmers Market. It's close to the Riverwalk and full of fresh merchandise from local vendors.

Oh so festive!! Photos are so beautiful!

Looks like a wonderful setting to enjoy the Christmas Holidays. But to get into the European style of celebrating you should extend your Christmas through to New Year and enjoy 10 days of goodwill to all men !

It does look like a lot of fun!

Thanks Marilyn. I appreciate that, especially coming from you Have a great weekend.

I like that idea Garry. I think I will take those ten days and spend them in Hawaii

Hi DrFumblefinger, it was a great time. A little cold, but the fire and the beer kept us warm, lol. Hope to get to do it again sometime in the future. Thanks for the comment.

Samantha and her husband had a great time while touring the Pilsner Urquell Brewery near Prague in the Czech Republic. If you are anywhere near the area you should definitely try to make time to check it out.

Wow, on so many levels, lol. Thanks for sharing the memories. Luckily we have a liquor store near us that carries several types of international beers, including Pilsner Urquell. The one I can't seem to find here is a German beer called Augustijn. It was good too.

Do I remember that you're in the Boulder area? Augustinerbräu appears to be available at Hazel's Beverage World at 1955 28th Street, Boulder. If not, I'll put some aside next time you're in New York! ....ph

I too am a big Pils drinker. My wife and I plus another couple stopped over in Pilzen on our way to Prague from our US Army base in Germany just a few years after the wall came down. Got my first delicious taste of Pilsner Urquell and I still buy it today from our local World Market store. What I remember from that restaurant stop for dinner in Pilzen at that time, our steak dinners with all the fixings cost about $7 each and inside each restroom a woman sold sheets of toilet tissue (none...

I have a warm feeling about Urquell, and not just because it's good beer. In May, 1945, my father's regiment ended up in a small German town, just across the border from Pilsen, which was occupied by the Red Army. At first, it became routine for the GIs to send a truck across the line to pick up a few barrels. But a few months later, things got frostier, and eventually the Russian company commander began demanding 'papers' before allowing the truck across. My father's regiment commander had...

Pheymont, What an interesting bit of history. Thank you for sharing that story. Prosit!

Samantha, her husband, and niece had a great time on their tour of Odell's Brewing Company on her birthday. The tour, and one sample, are free!

Samantha and her husband Gene visited their 100th craft brewery and look forward to a future trip when they plan to hit a craft brewery in each of the 50 states!

Samantha shares her visit to the Public House in Springfield, Oregon where the community can gather to enjoy a variety of foods, enjoy a pint, and good conversation.
