All of the students participating in the Wartburg
West program, myself included, moved in just a few days ago. We have not
begun our field experiences or internships yet, but we certainly have had the
opportunity to explore the vibrant city of Denver, Colorado. After a
long, cold yet exciting day consisting of a scavenger hunt around the city and
a dinner with alumni, a group of us decided to go to a local Belgian beer café
called the Cheeky Monk just a couple blocks from our apartment complex.
This visit was extra special because we had two Belgians with us. Alex Gheysens
is a third year student of Wartburg College and his sister is visiting for the
week. It was very interesting to see what they both thought of the menu and
atmosphere of the place. We were lucky to have them with us because we not only
didn’t recognize the majority of the Belgian beers but pronouncing them
properly was nearly impossible. The evening included an intense game of
scrabble, tasting a variety of unique beers and a lot of stories. Going to the
Cheeky monk was a great opportunity for some of the Wartburg students to get to
know each other better and experience something new together. I’m really
looking forward to the rest of the semester with this great group of people. Hopefully
Sofie can come back to visit again soon!
