Travelers Rest; Foodies, Never

Cannolo
The Cuevas' have been travelling in the U.S., attending a wedding and visiting family, and are now on their way home, after a few days of wandering and eating in México City.

Many restaurants were visited in the U.S. and a few in Mexico. I've been too busy to blog. Then, in a last minute frenzied farewell, I left my digital camera in my family house. I'm making arrangements to have it carried in safe hands back to me.

Meanwhile, here are a few selected photos from restaurant and home meals we enjoyed.

That´s right. Rub it in our faces, the fact that about all we get in Mexico is more cheese and corn.

Felipe: Cheesy popcorn is good!

Casona Rosa: We ARE lucky. Yesterday, Doña Cuevas and I marked our 42nd Wedding Anniversary together, Tonight we join friends for dinner at a Catalán restaurant, El Racó.

It's been an enjoyable trip, with only a few difficult parts, but we are looking forward to resting up at home.

Saludos,
Don Cuevas

Teresa, that cannolo was at Diana's Italian Restaurant and Catering, New Windsor, NY (Near Stewart-Newburgh International Airport. It was the highlight of an otherwise lackluster meal.

Those who compared it with the one at Cosimo's On Union, up the road a ways, said that Diana's was better. Personally, I can do without the gratuitous chocolate squizzles.

Don Cuevas
