We feel like all we are doing here is eating. Not only are we getting three meals a day – each with several courses, we are also having tea (and often a snack) mid-day and lunch and dinner always seems to have dessert attached to them - often more than one kind of dessert. We all want to try everything – most of it has been very good, but we are also realizing that we are eating way more than we usually do. It’s a good thing that we are doing so much walking when we go site seeingJ I brought a bunch of snacks from home that I haven’t broken into yet – including a jar of peanut butter – thinking that I might be hungry at some point or want to eat something that reminds me of home, but now I am thinking that I might be giving a host family a jar of “American Peanut Butter” as a gift so that I don’t have to keep carrying it with me.
