Wine TogetherTake Me Out Tonight!In this episode, Brooke and Deb talk about going out in Europe compared to going out in the United States!
Today we talk about outings we do now that we have moved to Switzerland from the USA.

However, access to safe, affordable, and convenient cafs and bakeries is simply easier in Switzerland.
