We have gotten together every single year since 2007, and this has included reunions in Wisconsin, Colorado, and Maine, weddings in Mexico and Wisconsin, skiing trips out west, The Hunt in New Jersey, and even a trip in 2014 back to Prague., The school was in a perfect location, we were able to travel almost every weekend across Europe thanks to its location, and we were able to afford the local cuisine and culture because of the affordability of Prague.

When in a foreign country, traveling most weekends and trying to do as much as possible in the three and a half months we had, it's easy to plan on giving your classes a little less prominence compared to your plans next weekend., Every week I was learning about the food and gastronomy of Tuscany and Italy, taking field trips throughout the city markets and storefronts, and being able to exercise my newly found food prowess when ordering lunch and dinner.
