So Many Dishes

Anyone who knows me, or has read this blog regularly, knows how I will answer this question. When we left Prague in September 1993, after living there for five months, I left a piece of my heart there. Ken and I were back for a couple of weeks in 2001, and I realized that my feelings hadn’t changed: Prague is home.

I know we didn’t live there for very long, but the memories are indelible. The city made a huge impression on all of us. Although it’s a large city, it’s compact and very livable. And no one can deny its beauty.

However, I now have another place that I’d consider. Although we’ve visited many beautiful and interesting places in the US and Europe over the past, no place, except for Prague, has captured my soul like Bordeaux. It’s another beautiful city that strikes me as very livable. There is so much beauty and history, but it’s a friendly place, and the pace of life isn’t as frenetic as it is here. Ken and I felt so comfortable there, even with my very rudimentary grasp of the language. I really could see myself living there

On Friday the Tour de France stage will end in Bordeaux, on the quayside. I plan to be watching, and wishing I was there.
