it's been awhile since my last post. the main culprit is that i took a month long trip thru europe in september/ october. to say the trip was much needed is an understatement. i was fortunate enough to have a number of friends to stay with along the way, which always makes traveling more fun. my travels took me to paris, berlin, florence, rome, and turkey (istanbul and antalya). the food was varied and universally delicious. as you can see from the following pictures i spent a good deal of time eating. no sense in holding back when faced with so many delicious opportunities. amazingly my clothes all still fit me on the way home :)
breakfast shortly after arriving in paris - pain au chocolate and cafe au lait
lunch and dessert at the wonderful 'la duree' - perfect for a rainy afternoon
temptations around every corner
a brief rest at the jardin du luxembourg
might as well skip to the chase - this was actually our lunch at 'sans souci' - the former residence of frederick the great outside of berlin
view of the prinzessinnengarten - it is an urban garden in a vacant plot of land in the middle of berln. we had an unbelievable four course dinner there consisting mostly of food grown in the garden. i was so full i couldn't eat until dinner the next day. it is a really extraordinary place - one of the highlights of my trip! for more info go to http://prinzessinnengarten.net/about/
my first cappucino - in florence
the best gelato in florence - 'percho no!' (why not!)
delectable foods at the market in rome
markets in istanbul
turkish coffee - ready to read my fortune in the grounds
