While on Vacation: Just Eat It!

I have seen my fair share of churches, museums and historical monuments. In Gertrude Steins words: A church is a church. If you have seen one you have seen them all.

The missus and I have made an agreement NOT to follow the pack while on vacation. No Disneylands. No guided tours. No vacation packages. No churches. Just the two of us enjoying each others company in a new, exciting context. Focusing on what we enjoy the most: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The way to travel and to meet interesting people is with a glas of wine in the left and a fork in the right hand. Nothing connects people more than food and wine. It's the quintessential hobby for globetrotting aficionados like us. It's the true way, the pure way to world peace.

Wait a second - we are not talking about hanging out with obese trash looking for their next value menu. Oh no, we are all about the pleasure of tasteful portions of local delights.

It's the gastronomique journey where soul, palatte and mind is challenged. It's where all senses are all equally involved. From the first peak at the menu to the signing of the check. It's where the Aahs meets the Oohs and pure vintage pleasure is being made and enjoyed.

Still up for visiting another church?
