The Halloween theme continues on Back to the Passport this October as we share the 13 most haunted places in Europe (I love a theme, don’t judge me).

Each year, hundreds of thousands gather in Downtown Denver sporting their best lederhosen and Alpine hats to attend Denver Oktoberfest! Rick and I go every year (in fact, it was one of our dates when we first started going out) to join in on the festivities, fun, and food, and of course to get our
