Last Breakfast & Lunch in Tokyo
OK so it’s Sunday, we have a plane to catch, but before that we still have two amazing meals in Japan to enjoy! First order of business: fish market for breakfast. We wanted to try a new one, so alarms were set for seven AM and we were out the door by 7:30. We went… Continue reading

Morning in Aomori
Woke up six-ish feeling pretty good, jet lag is over with, I think, finally. We have the morning here in Aomori before we head off to Sendai, where we actually stay multiple nights lol First order of business is breakfast at the Aomori fish market of course! But there’s a twist: in this place, you… Continue reading

Morning in Hakodate, Off to Aomori
It was a jet-lag victory: slept in ’till 7:00AM! We all headed to the local fish market for breakfast of course, and adventures were had. The abalone was a bit of a shock. It was large, and every now and then would give a small slow squirm. We didn’t really know how to approach it,… Continue reading

Day Trip from Sapporo
Today’s first adventure was to first get through the night, then blearily make it to the train station so we could have breakfast at the Otaru fish market!! Because where else would one have breakfast other than at a fish market??? Despite how amazing breakfast was, there was still one more task to complete, finally… Continue reading

First Full Day in Japan
I should think about renaming this series “Eating Our Way Through Japan” because that’s pretty much what we did. The food scene of Japan is world-famous, justifiably so, and we tried our best to be worthy of it. The first day in Sapporo saw breakfast at the fish market, lunch at a grill-your-own place in… Continue reading

Still Freezing in Todi
(notes from March 2025) But unfortunately, Sam developed food poisoning or something and had an incredibly epic barfing episode here which I have neglected to document 😀 Anyway, she has been a nonstop upchucking marvel ever since!! She’s gone about 36 hours without eating much of anything, but she’s somehow still not empty lol But… Continue reading

First Day in Rome
Jet-lag is killing us, day two is always the absolute worst! But we did get out for meals at least, and those were interesting. It’s been a very long time since we were served something we didn’t know how to eat 😂 It’s artichoke season here in Italy and so we ordered the special appetizer… Continue reading

And More Napoli 😀
Today is our last day in the great/sucky AirBnB lol it’s great for what it is, but the location really sucks unless you want to spend all your time inside and never go out. The next morning, we were all packed and ready, we’d arranged for a driver to pick us up at ten and… Continue reading

More Days in Napoli
So we obviously read up on stuff, especially about Sicilia, and it turns out they eat horses there. When you hear that, it’s something you don’t forget easily!! So whenever I see signs like above, featuring “Mare” in large letters, my first thought is “Horse restaurant!!” But obviously—albeit not to me—”Mare” in Italian means “of… Continue reading

Typical Days in Napoli
Our Airbnb is great, big space, patios, INSANE views, but dang is it inconvenient! If we want to walk for food, there are like three meh options, otherwise it’s taxis. Napoli has over a million people but only two metro lines: I am convinced the taxi union has successfully fought expanding the metro for many… Continue reading
