Friends, I conclude my travels in Europe with a series of experiences that have left me speechless and satiated. All that remains are the vestiges of past days–the battlefields of former respites–the empty plates of delicious conquests. A greek philosopher once said–if you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago. Such is the way of food. Such is the way of life.
