i have to end with this

...this is how i always want to remember our trip. the love. the awe. savoring every wonderful bit of a foreign land. 

here, mama is relishing her moment with pain des amis. she is forming a taste memory, creating a mental picture of the texture, color, smell. she is moaning in pure delight. and although she knows that she can eat this bread only paris, she is loving it. 

again, that's, how i want to remember our trip - feeling the magic. 

note: the following photo is the famous pain des amis that mama described in an earlier post, "the love affair." enjoy!
