20 beers=6 dollars

I've been meaning to write some observations about my trip to Germany, but there's so much I'm a bit overwhelmed. Also, I'm trying to use a German keyboard since we don't have the wireless router set up yet, so I'm going to make this short. Basically, in an effort to make everyone thoroughly jealous I am going to point out one huge difference between America and Germany.
I went with Axel to the Czech republic the other day for a beer\grocery run. And while we were there, I picked up a case of 20 of the finest German and Czech lagers, and these are 16 ounce beers mind you, for about, oh, 30 cents a piece. Yeah, that's right, a case of beer for 6 bucks. Water was considerably more expensive. Oh sure, we're sepnding nearly $5 a gallon for gas but only spending about $2.40 a gallon for German beer. Seems like a fair trade off.
Ok, that's it for now, I hate this keyboard, so time to enjoy that beer and train for my big beer race this Saturday.

Nice score son! Sure wish I could get beer for that price. Even the cheap is .40 here and I'm sure nothing like the fine stuff you are talking about. Have fun and enjoy. Good luck with the beer race. Tell Axel I said hey.
