Food/Locations

I like food! I especially like good desserts and great steaks. Over the years I have been able to visit several restaurants and I would like to share my favorites.

We also like books, and take the opportunity to seek out bookstores where ever we travel. We have also been able to visit several other locations, mostly museums, around the world that we have found to be very interesting.
