I’m headed to the International Gastronomy Festival in Guadalajara, Mexico, the first week of March, followed by a week in Mexico City. All gastronomy, all the time. If I have any readers, friends, romans, countrymen, etc., who are or will be in either place, I’d love to meet up, hang out, eat, tour, see things.… Read More Mexico, Coming Right Up!
Henry and I just spent a trio of days up in Salta and the area north of there, in the far northwest of the country. It’s the first time we’ve been there (other than passing nearby and along part of the same route when we went to Bolivia a decade ago). Our original intent was… Read More Salta, La Linda

Colombia and Ecuador behind us, it was time for a visit to Henry’s family in Trujillo. Things have come a long way since my first time nine years ago. (Here, here, here and here.) Bit by bit, Henry has been helping his family out (technically, it’s his property to begin with, inherited from his grandparents)… Read More Dining In in Trujillo
