I'm writing a non traditional post, not including a recipe or
yummy review, rather a snapshot of our trip, which was filled with food, food and even more glorious food! There are still get pics and suggestions of some
of my loveliest bites, so when you get a chance, do try them if your in that
neighborhood..
If I mention them then they are well worth it, and if
something was not that delish I would just not post about it, as you know I
hate criticizing anything or anyone- who am I to judge ;) Superstitious me believes
it's all about karma in life so I'm only spreading the love..
These aren't my best images since I really didn't feel like
taking my super duper cam, plus we were always starving and I never had time to
take the right pics.. Sometimes I even forgot to silly me, so no evidence of us being at
many, many other delish places - we'll just have to go back and do it again!
Even though food was crucial during
our trip, more vital were the people we traveled with. So amongst a bunch of
loving, singing, crazy and extremely funny people, I must say I had a
phenomenal time.. So thanks to the funky bunch for an amazing time! In order of appearance:
Joujou, Fufi, Nuffy, Cynthy, Somar, Salouha, Amir, Alex, Sly and Galva.
Much love,
D xx
