What Would A Trip Be Without Food?!

A glimpse at some of the food we enjoyed on our 13-day adventure.
The picture above is my napkin covering A LOT of pasta that I just couldn't eat after several days of pasta, pasta and more pasta!

And now the picture of what I am trying to hide. See the picture below.

Notice the label on our little "diet Coke." Yes, that's COKE-LIGHT! A bottle this size cost 4 euros. That's about $6.00 dollars. Yes, that's right $6.00.
And look at this lovely salad. We ate at a really nice cafe behind the Notre Dame in Paris. So delicous! That was a whole avocado on my salad. A little outside cafe' with little tables to watch all the people go by. The waiter was very "french." --a story for another post.
More of our little cafe' in Paris. So fun. A lovely lunch on a perfect day.
This is one of the first days of our trip. At a sidewalk cafe in Lucerene. A very typical pickled salad with a wurst and some potatoes. I can't tell if Ross really is enjoying his German "wurst" or just trying to recover from a long day of walking and walking and more walking.
Daren enjoying some "bottled" water. I think this is a bottle without "gas." Notice my half filled glass of "FANTA." That's right. There is nothing like Fanta when you are in a german speaking country.
This is Dickie at a dinner of pasta. Take a look at that face. Doesn't it just cry, "More pasta, please. Please bring me more pasta. I just can't get enough pasta!" Such a good sport. And they brought us the apples and bananas as dessert. I was looking for chocolate.
And last but not least a picture of Dickie on the first day of our trip. We are looking pretty fresh and ready to go here. I just had to add this because it isn't about food at all. We are just getting on the bus at the airport. We are somewhere in Zurich. WOW!
