On our road trip though the USA this summer, we decide to visit Wyoming to experience (again) the wide open spaces, high plains and rugged character of the western frontier. And it really is still the wild frontier in America.

Oktoberfest, Groningen-style
The 182nd Oktoberfest, the world’s largest beer festival and fun fair, takes place in Munich from 19 September to 4 October this year. The festival originally began as a celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810. Nowadays, the over 6 million visitors can enjoy a mixture of attractions, such as amusement rides, side-stalls and games, parades, and horse-racing, as well as a wide variety of traditional food and, of course, beer.
