Yum
Rhubarb apple strudel sounds like a fantastic dessert fantasy. Whenever I read your posts, I'm always hungry afterwards. Fortunately (or perhaps, unfortunately) I'm never hungry for anything I can get in the metropolis of St. Helens.

Metro Challenges
It's a good thing you have so much big city experience with metros and subways. For a less experienced rider (like me) I would probably still be on the train. Maybe I would have ended up in a different city even! All the electrical storms sound exciting. I love those things.

Wow! The palace and the maze look amazing!! Loved the story about the calories by the way. It really does explain so much. It seems like you guys are having a great trip. I really enjoy reading your posts each day and traveling (and eating) vicariously. So happy you're coming back to PDX with some new recipes. I feel so conveniently located to be a taste tester ;)

Chris and Jerry, I have so enjoyed the blogs as I have to many of the same places. It makes me want to travel to Europe once again! The food pictures made my mouth water. Hope you are both having a great time! Keep the blogs coming! Dave

Hello
Your trip sounds wonderful. I've been craving veal schnitzel ever since you hit Austria. I had a friend from Jersey, C.I. who was from a family of hoteliers and he'd studied cooking in a Swiss school for hoteliers. When he visited me in Portland, he made the most divine veal schnitzel I have ever tasted. So happy to hear you're enjoying every step of the way!

Thanks
Thanks for checking out that grand piano for me. I completely understand that it doesn't fit in your luggage, so you're forgiven. I'll bet is sounded 1000 times better than the baby grand I played at church today. Glad to hear you two are having such a great time.

commentary
Chris, you know me too well. I couldn't even get through that sentence about you being a New Yorker before the comments were rolling off my tongue. And then in the next sentence I get reprimanded...again. I'm in Dallas on a layover. Wish you were here to eat pecan pralines with me. You'd appreciate them. But then, if you were here the non-sharing five year old in me would return. Enjoying the blogs. (Obviously I need to catch up on them.) Rob

A treat to read every day!
Chris and Jerry - Thank you for sharing your adventures. I look forward to your entry daily and have sent it on to many others....Chris, your writing is entertaining and descriptive enough for that mental image - not to mention your sense of humor! Safe travels and stay healthy (am happy to hear the French drugs helped, Jerry)!

Fattening
I think I gained 4 pounds and two inches around my waist just reading about all the butter in those croissants. Sounds like a lot of work, but if I'm invited for breakfast...;)

Is that an electirc stove?
Are you cooking on an electric stove? I just moved into an apartment with an electric range after cooking on a gas range for over 30 years and I'm terrified. If you can prepare gourmet meals with an electric range I'll stop whining. Your diary is fabulous - I really enjoyed Jerry's trip to the museum. Live, love and enjoy, nb

I'm enjoying your blog... I think your "random thoughts" section quite interesting. Always like to hear how people react to a new experience, and as I'm just an armchair traveller right now, reading blogs gives me a taste of the world... so don't stop blogging!

Quite possibly the best thing about being American is the bountiful water pressure in our wonderful American showers. I have fond memories of pastries in Pau. PLEASE bring me the egg cooker. Please, please, please!

Pssst, Jerry. Orange is my favorite color, €150 IS too much for lunch, and I guess we'll never know if $800 is excessive for a Russian hooker (and caviar).

comments, well...
You know I have almost as many opinions as you do. Do you want to open the floodgate? ahh, leisurely lunches. Why ate we Americans so rushed about everything? Can one ever tire of leisurely lunches w/ friends? (Books being some of the best friends ever.) I'm done with school and it feels like I have so much time on my hands. Time is such a luxury and as you suggest, better than any material possession. Time, friends and good food (wines a food group, right?) if we've got those then life has to be ok. Living vicariously, Rob

Hi Chris - here in the US I have been too busy working and mothering to make a comment;-). I love this though! Really hits home and mirrors my experience and appreciation of the European culture!

Just what I needed - more homework
That Istar Gate looks spectacular. Now I'm going to have to Google it and learn the history, and I still have two papers to perfect (due tonight). Thanks! Are you going to establish a potato restaurant in Portland since you think it would work?
