I know people who go on tours, and eat in all the touristy restaurants, and come home saying they don't know why everyone says the food is so good in Italy, or France! Crazy!

I think that is true many places in the world. Our rule for choosing a restaurant is pay attention to the ones the locals go to and are packed. Thanks for linking up with Weekend Travel Inspiration. I know I'm a bit late, but the first day of school is tomorrow, and we arrived at our new location only a week ago....been a bit busy!
