A perfect weekend

We had a wonderful weekend. Our friend Lynn had organized a wonderful beer tour for her husband's birthday, so I borrowed her idea and planned one for Kyle because his birthday was this past Saturday. We started the day at the Vapeur brewery, which is the last steam powered brewery in the world. Once a month they open the entire brewing process to the public to view. We ate a great lunch there and just felt very Belgian. Next it was off to the Ellezelloise brewery for a taste of their beer. Then we took a tour of the 3 Fonteinen brewery. The owner and brewmaster is incrediby passionate about his beer and keeping that exact Belgian style of beer alive. The tour took us two hours just because he kept talking so much!

Mark Richt ended up giving Kyle a better present than I ever could with Georgia's win over Florida. Our UGA friend Jason Mann came in from London (where he lives) to join us for the day, so he and Kyle really had fun cheering on the Bulldogs together.

Last Saturday Kelly and Donna hosted another great Halloween party. 50+ kids Trick or Treated their way up and down our street. Belgium has only caught on to the halloween idea in the last 5 years. Somehow they seemed to learn that you could only dress up as scary things, so there are lots of witches, monsters, and basically people just dressed in black. You can always spot the Americans because they are the only ones not dressed in black. Case in point:
