Would You Like A Straw With That?

Notice anything strange about this picture?
No, it's not that I'm drinking a beer. I've actually grown to enjoy a decent light beer, on occasion. My taste is evolving, much like my drift from drinking only sweet white wines to now preferring the dryest red wine I can find.
I'm not sure that I will ever change my beer preferences to wanting a straw with it, though. However, here in the big K, one is always placed in my pint.
These pictures were taken at a local brewery here, called Tinkoff. They have a great rooftop restuarant, where we have found delicious shashlik (remember - meet on a stick) and their beers are pretty good and reasonably priced. As seen below, Stephen sometimes enjoys the darker beers. I say, yuck.
The best part about Tinkoff is the view. I mean, seriously, people. You have to come visit sometime and see the mountains in person!
Starting tomorrow, we will have lots of room! We are moving into our new apartment tomorrow morning! You might not hear from me for a few days, as internet will not be ready tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be reconnected soon.

This has been a pretty good week of "work." I say "work" because it has included meeting for about an hour, as a whole group, and then another hour long meeting with our departments. Then, they feed us lunch. Then, we are done for the day! Next week's pace will increase a little bit, but not enough to complain about at all. Also, they are giving us a 4 day weekend to get settled in our apartments!
I am so excited, I am going to go finish getting everything ready to go tomorrow morning!
