First Post. Ever
February 17, 2012
What's Brewin. Well, at first glance of that coffee cup - or first read of the title - you might think this is a blog about good coffee. Or maybe beer. Brewin' Coffee. Brewin' Beer. Get it? Ha. Of course you do. But it's not about either! At least I don't think it will be. That's not to say you won't find mention of a decent cup of coffee if I happen to find one during my travels. This is, I think, at least for now, the beginning, going to be a travel blog. Whoever thought I would write a travel blog? Not me! But here we are. Why, you may ask? Why a travel blog and why call it What's Brewin? Well......
First, the What's Brewin part. Its just a clever play on words that's all. Brewin's my name. Last name, not first. Obviously. Ha. My dream was always to have a coffee shop named What's Brewin, but since it's impractical and not very likely to happen at this point in my life.....the genius of the clever play on words needs to be
used somewhere, doesn't it? What's Brewin blog it is. Can't let a good name go
to waste now, can I?
Now, the travel part. Well, if you would have told me I would be taking a trip alone to Europe a year ago, I would not have believed you. I would have laughed and shaken my head and said no way. And yet, here we are. Wow. So, considering that I am travelling alone and people will be worried about me - at least I hope they will be and you know who you are - and, I think there will be friends who will be interested in what I'm getting up to over there in Europe......the idea of a blog just seemed so much easier than sending mass emails out to people every day. A blog just seemed......funner. And yes, that is a word, by the way. A me word. Funner.
So, here's my idea for going forward. There are pages to this blog. The first one, as you can see, is......What's Brewin in Belgium. I'll add any posts about Belgium onto the page. I hope it works. Since I haven't really tested it out yet, I'm not sure it will. But one can hope. And I will tweak as we go along. I don't travel a lot, but usually go somewhere once a year, so my thought was to add a page for each trip. Make sense? So, for example, maybe next year I'll go to......Oh, New York, let's say. (That's not a bad idea, actually, must look into that!). So the page would say, What's Brewin.....In New York. Get it? Got it? Good. I so hope it makes sense. But for today, for February 2012, we'll start small. With Belgium. And see how it goes.
So, there you have it. A travel blog called What's Brewin. It could turn into anything. It could be nothing and die out and fizzle. I don't know. But I'm going to give it a whirl. Hope you come along. And have fun. And maybe smile at my crazy way of explaining things. And of course......you must leave a comment! Especially while I'm travelling, so I can be close to my friends while I'm away and know they're thinking about me like I'm thinking about them. Hmmmmmm, I hope this blog site lets you leave comments. I should have checked that out! Let's assume it does. Okay? Okay.
And this, I guess, is the end of Post One. Check back now and again. I may have some random thoughts as I begin preparing for this trip. I wonder if they should go on the Belgium page or here on the home page. Hmmmmmmm.......
As you can see, I'm terrible at making up mind! I'll leave you with that, my friends. I need to come up with a name for you all. Brewin's........ Brewin's what? Hmmmmm........ More things to think about!

PS: You might wonder about the picture. Well.......It's Carlos. He's a handsome man. And since I had this picture, and he was holding a coffee cup, and the blog is called What's Brewin.........I just had to use it now, didn't I? Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
