Jordan has a Beer



We are in Europe and when in Rome or in Europe do as the Europeans do. There is an area in Prague known as Old Town Square. In the square there ia an astonomical clock. Every hour a large crowd gathers to watch the clock. There are warnings to watch for pick pockets. We have not met any so far.


Anyhow, also in the square are various food vendors. There is a stand that makes crepes. One crêpe with strawberry, blueberry, chocolate or various other fillings costs 50 Czeck Crowns. This is about $ 2.50. When rolled up the crêpe is about 18 inches long. This thing smells great, tastes even better and is an entire meal. About fifty feet away there is another stand where they are cooking sausages. These things are more tan a foot long, smell fantastic and are served on a warm baggette with mild but tastey mustard. This also costs 50 Czeck Crowns. Now when in Prague what do you wash your food down with? Well, there's bottled water, 70 Czeck Crowns, there's Coke, 50 Czeck Crowns, then there's beer, 35 Czeck Crowns. Amazing, beer costs less than water. I am beginning to really like this place. Not only is the beer the least expensive beverage on the menu there are more kinds to choose from than I can count. There is a beer for every palate.


So here we are. Me, Jordan and Isabella, she has a crêpe and a soda, I have a sausage and a beer, I give Jordan his sausage and that's when I figure, "What the hell, we are in Prague and the after all beer is cheaper than soda or water "so Jordan gets a beer to wash down his sausage. I know he's only 17 but like I mentioned before when in Europe.

Later Jordan gets to go clubbing with a bunch of college kids.
