• Europe II

  Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris was too short.

  I gave my camera away, so I was working with JC's Olympus, which I wasn't too comfortable with. So, in the end, pictures are sparse, but I'm banking on LC's pictures to be uploaded.

  We went to Amsterdam for a wedding, and the groom's family are pure epicures. Our first stop was a Chinese banquet at Sea Palace. The food was GREAT, even by New York Standards. The groom's family really knows their food. There was a lot of seafood, and I lost count of the number of plates.

  The next day's ceremony was beautiful, and the first reception dinner was held at an elegant restaurant within the Dylan Hotel. Food was even better!

  The next day we were treated to a great culinary experience at

  De Jonge Dikkert. Everything was amazing. JC's cousin took pictures of all the courses.

  The Reception didn't dissapoint either. I miss the cocktail hour and desserts. Yum Yum.

  Then the next day we went off to Paris via Brussels.

  The culinary pinnacle was La Tour d'Argent. The food was amazing! The service was impeccable. Ambiance just made you feel like you were so very Parisian!
  

  The next day we had dinnercruise along the Siene. The views were amazing! The food, well, we were spoiled by the amazing food the night before.

  I didn't take as many pictures because we gave my favorite camera away. *sigh* will have to wait till LC uploads them.
