Another life goal achieved...

Elixir of the gods: Pilsner Urquell, fresh from the tap in Pilsen, Bohemia. And how could I pass up the Restaurant Svejk, having read The Good Soldier Svejk? (It's hilarious — thanks to H for recommending it.)

Cast iron columns

Spotted on Washington St. near Columbus: a restoration underway of a building whose exterior still features its original cast iron columns from the 19th century. There's nothing all that distinctive about them, but the columns are a nice decorative and historical detail that I'm glad the building's owner saw fit to maintain.
