Barcelona and New York - so much more to tell....

I'm physically back in San Francisco now, but my mind and my heart (and of course my stomach) are still vacationing in Barcelona.  I want to write about so much more, including fun places for lunch with the locals and a luscious chocolate tour.  And, after Barcelona, I was off to New York to reunite with my wife, who had been studying there for the summer.  One of the highlights of our few days there was a raw fish feast at Bar Masa in the newish Time Warner building.  So much to tell.

But, alas, I am off again for a few days (this time with my darling wife) to soak in the hot springs of Tassajara and to feast on their always wonderful vegetarian delicacies, including their incomparable freshly baked bread.  The beauty of Tassajara is that it's completely cut off from civilization (kerosene lanterns and candles after the sun sets), so the blog will have to take a temporary siesta.  When I return, I promise to share more tales (and photos) of Barcelona, New York and even Tassajara.  Hope you all have a yummy week.
