Keeping it brief since it’s either a picture of food, Dan or a building (or in one case, a building called the Dan) - we finally left Tel Aviv for a day trip to Jerusalem where you guessed it, we ate and I took pictures of Dans. Not willing to go all the way through Istanbul without stopping for a meal (or three), we (I) purposely booked a 7 hour layover for snacking. Don’t you want to be my travel buddy? Whenever I go somewhere I really like I get an almost panic that I don’t know when / if I’ll get to go back and see / eat things again. Hopefully 2019 will be a year of eating new and familiar delicious snacks around the world.

There are lots of things I just couldn't find out about - a combination of me trying to over-prepare in case my french failed us (a very likely scenario!) and a lack of websites and information online (so french).
Read MoreAfter taking a $5 uber from the airport, we already found this to be a magical place, but Mexico was just getting started. My first stop in any new city is usually a bakery, and when I heard that Panaderia Rosetta had a specialty guava/danish/croissant, you better believe I was there when the doors opened. In fact almost all the following mornings started by ordering x rols de guayaba. How could we not?
Read MoreThose glorious film colors (#teamEktar) are now burned in my brain as what Tel Aviv looks like. If we could add smell-o-vision of fresh frying falafel and pita and herbs, then it would be perfect. And I need to get breakfast ASAP before I start gnawing on the computer thinking about the food. With Dan on a work trip to Tel Aviv, I naturally invited myself to pop over for a few days.
