Well, we’ve made it to Geneva from Paris and it seems like we just left Valencia the other day. I think I’m still picking Paella out of my teeth. Valencians are famous for their Paella, which is a rice dish, originally conceived as a peasant dish – spiced rice, and whatever meat, veggies and other protein sources are available at the time. Traditional Valencian paella is rice with some big wide white beans, rabbit (duck too?) and some green beans. We had a “Paella Langostina” which was rice, lobster and chunks of calamari.
Our trip to Paris was a relatively smooth one, even though our 50 euro flight was delayed a bit. Traveling between countries in the EU is a lot like traveling between different states in the US. It’s so easy, no customs, no passport checks, and lots of cheap flights. I wonder if the rise of discount carriers (Ryan Air, Vueling, Click.com, etc) through out Europe can be attributed to the EU? I believe it’s only a matter of time before the non-EU countries, like the UK and Switzerland join (not if those that control their currency have anything to do with it…) but that’s just my Americanized, uneducated opinion.
