My Summer Vacation: Introduction

After remaining homebound for pretty much the entire first half of the year, I have temporarily pacified my wanderlust by taking a proper vacation, hitting three continents along the way. An apéritif of two nights in Paris was followed by a week in India and a week in Egypt.

Naturally, I ate like a rapacious sow throughout the whole journey, and I will share my gastronomic memories here. "I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen," said Benjamin Disraeli, but fortunately we have digital cameras these days, so I have over 1,200 aides-mémoire to remind me of what I experienced during this fantastic trip.

I'll be back after a nap or two...
