Your pictures are amazing -- really makes me want to jump on a plane right now to see for myself! <br /><br />I am even happier that you were able to try one of Chef Ramsey's restaurants -- truly an experience! I was lucky enough to be able to try his restaurant in NYC, and it was incredible! I would love to visit all of his restaurants world-wide (I might be slightly obsessed after Hell's Kitchen). <br /><br />Welcome back! <br /><br /> ~ JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809397616829044745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-10438616505573726212009-09-16T22:07:31.085-05:002009-09-16T22:07:31.085-05:00These photos are lovely.
