Another vacation, another long posting hiatus. After all the airplanes, trains, cars, subway, buses, and achy feet, we are home again.  This time it was a whirlwind 19+ days through Portugal and France.  There were many sites visited and much food and drink consumed.  And once the kids recover from jet lag (they’re currently waking up around 2:30 AM and 5:00 AM) I will do my best to write-up our adventures.  In the meantime, I’ll post a recipe for banh xeo in the next couple of days.

I’ll leave you with a few mental images: Soup-er girl eating barnacles, foie gras and more foie gras, macarons, Berthillon ice cream and weak pho in Paris!
